It’s the longest night of the year and I’m uncomfortably close to a lot of strangers, queueing to eat something I’m not used to seeing on a menu – brushtail possum.
Dark Mofo, Tasmania’s midwinter art, music and food festival, has always dished up a side serve of discomfort, and this year’s Winter Feast is no exception.
