Monique is a freelance travel, food, and lifestyle writer hailing from Perth, WA. From New Caledonia to the Arctic Circle, Broome to Esperance, she’s seen, experienced, and tasted some of the finest things the world has to offer. Still, nothing holds a candle to what comes out of the Gascoyne region. After attending the Gascoyne Food Festival in 2020 and supping on dishes from some of WA’s finest chefs, there’s no doubt in her mind that this little patch of the west coast is an absolute goldmine for fresh produce.
