Bask in the extraordinary spirit and creativity beaming out of the Sunshine Coast in the premiere of My Way, which returns for its ninth season at 5.30pm AEST this Sunday on Channel 9 and 9Now.
And watch out for future episodes as My Way continues to scout far and wide to honour outstanding Australians doing outstanding things. Like the couple using their Olympic boxing expertise to engage the youth in their community; the dynamic duo bringing authentic Italian fine dining to great locations in Brisbane; and the guitar craftsman whose ingenuity has put his instruments in the hands of Tash Sultana, Steph Strings and The Teskey Brothers.
But first we are off to the Sunshine Coast, meeting Jenna Sanders, a third-generation baker who revitalised the cherished Kenilworth Bakery into a vibrant community hub. After 15 years of honing her craft, Jenna purchased the historic bakery – and what started with four doughnut sales a day has blossomed into a bustling hotspot, with 5,000 doughnuts flying off the shelves each Saturday.
From there, we hit the breathtaking Glasshouse Mountains, where Lisa and Nick Palu are brewing a fresh chapter in coffee production. Since acquiring the historic Glasshouse Plantation Estate in 2015, this close knit family have planted over 5,000 Arabica coffee trees. They have also transformed the original 1910 farmhouse into a café and roastery, inviting visitors to savour this journey of Australian-grown coffee from cultivation to cup.
On we continue to the Canefields Distillery where Kylie and Luke Farrelly and Dan Cook have transformed their generational canefields into a premier rum and gin operation, mastering every aspect of production from planting to bottling. Viewers will raise a glass to their dedication to craftsmanship and the rejuvenation of the Sunshine Coast cane industry.
Meanwhile at Eastwell Farms, Susie and Bryant Ussher and their son Alex are champions of sustainable agriculture. By blending regenerative cattle farming with innovative mushroom cultivation, this family exemplify a commitment to harmony with nature. Driven to enrich the land and strengthen the community’s connection to the environment, they are setting a powerful example for future generations.
See the beauty and ingenuity of Queensland through the eyes of those transforming challenges into opportunities when My Way returns, Sunday at 5.30pm AEST on Channel 9 and 9Now.

Typifying the beauty of the Scenic Rim is the blossoming Elderflower Farm. Passionate about beautiful, heirloom flowers, Rachel Watkins and husband Fred made the transition from horse training and cattle mustering to picking and pruning. Rachel’s backyard garden was soon transformed into beautiful rows of blooms and the bouquet business flourished.
In celebration of the Scenic Rim’s high-quality local produce, we meet Brenda Fawdon, the visionary behind Picnic Real Food Bar.

In 2004, Nick left Melbourne’s culinary scene for Cairns to pursue his dream of opening a laidback, beachside restaurant and 20 years later, it is still the cornerstone of Tropical North Queensland’s fine dining scene.
Further north and nestled in the ancient landscape of the Daintree, Julia visits Cape Trib Farm which grows over 80 varieties of curious, tropical fruit, the next one more weird and wonderful than the last. Merran Blockey, her husband Jeremy and son Sam are dedicated to sharing the unique offerings with visitors to the farm that yields a cornucopia of unheard of fruits thriving in this tropical climate.
On the Atherton Tablelands, Julia finds Mark Watkins, the mastermind behind Mt Uncle Distillery.

Mark grows his agave onsite and even gives Julia a chance at harvesting one of these giant plants, which is not for the faint hearted.
After a dreamy day exploring the romantic Paronella Park, Julia delights in a warm welcome at the Mena Creek Hotel which is over 100 years old. Managers Katherine and Jacinta Stevens, who share deep ties to the town, welcome her with a lesson in pouring the perfect pint.
