Planning is well underway for the Nude Lunch and DGH Engineering is proud to once again be a sponsor for the third consecutive year - our second as a Gold Sponsor. The Nude Lunch is a charity fundraising luncheon committed to changing the story of ovarian cancer in Australia. Ovarian cancer is considered a silent killer as it often goes undetected until too late. The Nude Lunch aims to raise awareness about this silent killer and raise vital funds for research programs so an early detection test can be found. Sadly the founder of the Nude Lunch, Trudy Crowley, passed away just prior to the event where more than guests attended the masquerade-themed lunch.

It is an adaptation of William S. Burroughs ' novel of the same name , and an international co-production of Canada , Britain and Japan. Naked Lunch has since become a cult film. William Lee is an exterminator who finds that his wife Joan is stealing his supply of insecticide to use as a recreational drug. Lee is arrested by the police, and he begins hallucinating as a result of exposure to the insecticide. Lee comes to believe that he is a secret agent, and his boss, a giant talking beetle, assigns him the mission of killing Joan, who is allegedly an agent of an organization called Interzone Incorporated. Lee dismisses the beetle's instructions and kills it.

The Mackay event is in its fourth year raising money for ovarian cancer research. Uniting young women with the power of knowledge. Hundreds dressed up to celebrate the event and honour Nude Lunch founder Trudy Crowley.
