Could this be Australia’s Best Job?
When you think about walking the Scenic Rim Trail, it’s easy to picture the incredible views and untouched wilderness. But what you might not expect is how much the food adds to the experience. Head Chef, Jake Knauth and his talented team have spent years crafting a menu that perfectly compliments the natural beauty of the region.
In a recent interview with ABC Radio, Jake shared how every dish has been thoughtfully crafted, using local, seasonal ingredients that celebrate the Scenic Rim region. Over the years, the menu has evolved—season by season—to stay connected to the land and to create dining experiences that feel simple yet meaningful. It’s food that sustains you, brings people together, and reflects the region’s rich agricultural roots.
Every dish, whether hearty and freshly prepared or thoughtfully crafted, shares one purpose: to enhance the guest experience. Jake’s philosophy is simple yet profound – food should feel deeply connected to the place where it is served. On the Scenic Rim Trail, each meal reflects the story of the landscape, the changing seasons, and the people who make this region unique.
