Celebrating 60: The First 20 Years (1965-1985)

As we celebrate Christie Barbecues’ 60th anniversary, we are excited to share our rich history. Firstly, we will look back at…

In this episode, we explore the role of partnerships and collaboration in creating places that truly serve communities. Public barbecues are more than products, they are catalysts for connection, inclusivity, and cultural identity. Through landmark projects and industry expertise, we show how thoughtful design, sustainability, and client support combine to deliver lasting value. Hear from those who have worked with Christie to create spaces that welcome everyone, encourage outdoor activity, and enrich public life. This is about more than delivering equipment, it’s about building trust, supporting clients with integrity, and shaping environments where people and communities thrive.

Aurasaurus Park in Nirimba is a standout destination on the Sunshine Coast. Opened in late 2022, it features a giant dinosaur play structure, fossil dig pits, a wooden dino-egg, and plenty of space to explore, climb, and imagine.

With picnic spots, hammocks, barbecues, and bike access, it’s a true community hub and a key part of Stockland’s plan to place a themed park within 400m of every home in Aura.

Gather, Grill, Connect: Why Australia’s Public Barbecues Are More Than Just a Meal.

Australia’s public barbecues are a key part of our culture and outdoor lifestyle, bringing people together in shared spaces. Free to use and easy to access, they create a strong sense of community. Unlike many countries where communal barbecues are rare or expensive, Australia’s free barbies offer a casual meeting spot for locals and visitors to gather.

Our BBQs unite diverse cultures, creating multicultural meals that reflect our evolving identity. Beyond enjoying food and conversation, the shared responsibility of cleaning up helps build a stronger community. Public barbecues symbolise togetherness and connection, making them an essential part of Australian life and a welcoming space for newcomers.

Just like Australia’s iconic public barbecues, our journey started with a simple idea to bring people together—watch our video to see how it all began. LINK IN BIO ...
