Mark Olive

Mark Olive is Australia’s most acclaimed Aboriginal chef and majority owner of The Outback Cafe, an ambitious project to create sustainable economic development and employment for Indigenous people around Australia.

His love of food has stemmed from spending long hours watching his mother and aunts prepare dishes using traditional ingredients. From this initial love, Mark went on to train under Italian chef Rino Collechia.

Mark has also studied at the Australian Film Television and Radio School and appeared in the ABC TV series “Message Stick” as resident chef.
