Just near the town of Dongara you get to meet the young family that that own and operate the award winning, Illegal Tender Rum Co. Join the family for a behind the scenes tour of the award winning rum distillery with some special tastings throughout. Sitting in the purpose built deck of the distillery with views of their property enjoy a lunch filled with local produce. From 1787, and for the first three decades of Australia’s history, rum was an unofficial form of tender in Australia. However, in 1808 the Governor of New South Wales, William Bligh, ordered that rum be made an ‘illegal tender’. This is where the name and the rum and spirits pay tribute to that time in Australian history and the country’s 230 year love affair with rum.
