Mindy Woods

JINGELLA… hello. Meet Mindy. Mindy Woods, a proud Bundjalung woman is revolutionising the culinary world. More than just a chef and restaurant owner, Mindy is a cultural ambassador, sharing the ancient wisdom and vibrant flavours of Indigenous Australian cuisine. Her journey is inspiring: a MasterChef Australia finalist (2012, fan-favourite 2022), former CEO of Lotus Dining Group, and now the celebrated owner of Karkalla on Country – a culinary & cultural experience nestled on her ancestral land. Karkalla isn't just a restaurant; it's an experience, a celebration of native ingredients and stories.
