Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
Ingham’s own Mick’s Bread Kitchen has cooked up a spectacular result on the national stage, taking home two gold medals at the 2026 Official Great Aussie Pie Competition.
The bakery’s Smoked Brisket Pie and Pork Pie both claimed gold, with the brisket creation developed by Mick’s daughter, Monique Toichev.
The bakery entered four pies in the prestigious competition, with its Ned Kelly Pie also taking silver and its Plain Pie earning bronze. The four-medal haul has given the local team plenty to celebrate, with Monique saying the recognition was the result of hard work and a commitment to perfecting every part of the pie.
The 2026 Ona Mission endurance event was a roaring success, with participants running, paddling and cycling across the rainforests and bays of Mission Beach.
With a short and long course to choose from, both seasoned and rookie athletes came together for a varied event with a unique community vibe.
