Burgers, banter and the mighty Maroons

It was great to fire up the grill for International Hamburger Day at Samford Grove, and as an added bonus, the event coincided with the first State-of-Origin match of the year! 

International Hamburger Day, held on May 28, is a global celebration of one of the world’s most beloved meals. From classic beef patties to creative gourmet toppings, it’s a day to honour a true food icon. 

The residents certainly embraced the occasion, enjoying a delicious burger together in their Origin colours. 

Days like these bring more than just great meals – they bring the community together through laughter, shared memories, and a few playful sporting jabs. 

Samford Grove Village Manager Maureen Kooiker said the event was a fantastic example of how food and fun can bring people together. 

“The timing couldn’t have been better,” she said. 

“Everyone was in great spirits, well fed, and ready to cheer on the mighty Maroons.  

“Of course, there were a few loyal Blues supporters holding their ground too, which only added to the fun.” 

Roll on next year!
