Western Australia's social elite gathered at Cottesloe's Indigo Oscar to mark the beginning of the highly anticipated Albany Rock Oyster harvest season. The exclusive launch event on November 10, 2025, saw more than 150 distinguished guests come together for an evening of coastal celebration.
A Star-Studded Coastal Affair
The event attracted a who's who of WA's influential figures, including Andrew Forrest, whose company Harvest Road Group acquired the oyster operation in early 2020. The business now operates under his premium shellfish brand, Leeuwin Coast. Among the prominent attendees were WA's winning Bachelor star Ellie Rolfe, Perth Glory's Adam Taggart, and popular influencers and models such as Brooklyn Metropolis, Montana Criddle, and Topaz Berger.
Celebrating WA's Premium Seafood
Guests enjoyed stunning ocean views while indulging in freshly shucked Albany Rock Oysters and coastal-inspired canapés. The culinary experience was perfectly complemented by local wines and specialty cocktails. Leeuwin Coast partner chefs provided valuable insights throughout the evening, explaining what makes Albany Rock Oysters a genuine taste of Western Australia's pristine marine environment.
A Significant Industry Celebration
The gathering represented more than just a social event—it marked the official start of harvest season for one of Western Australia's most sought-after seasonal delicacies. The acquisition by Forrest's Harvest Road Group in 2020 has positioned the Albany Rock Oyster operation for continued growth under the established Leeuwin Coast brand, highlighting the importance of sustainable aquaculture in the region.
The celebration successfully combined luxury entertainment with appreciation for WA's premium seafood industry, creating an unforgettable evening that honoured both the product and the people behind its journey from ocean to plate.
