Christine Capponi

After leaving gcc I hung around Inisfail for about 6 months doing pre-vo to become a chef. Next stop Cairns. Did my apprenticeship, starting in a small restuarant, moved to a hotel and learnt alot, from the great people I worked with. Won a few medals in competitions, decided that I wanted to see more, so I moved to Sydney, where I have been for the past 8 years, and loving every minute of it.

I have been keeping very busy, renovating a property we have down here (as well as looking for a bigger one) and buying my own restaurant with a business partner with plans to open one more this year and three more next year.

Malcolm and I have been together for about 8 years (met up in Cairns, funnily enough!!) not married, just loving our good life for the moment.

Throw in a few holidays and some surgery and that just about brings me up to date. I guess I let you know more about it when we catch up.
