Macca’s is answering the call of rumbling tummies across Australia with the launch of a new future icon – the Big Arch. Built to satisfy ‘big Macca’s hunger’ and loaded with flavour in every layer, the burger contains two quarter pound 100% Aussie beef patties, three slices of white cheddar cheese, topped with crispy onions, crunchy pickles and lettuce, smothered in a new signature Big Arch sauce, all stacked on a toasted sesame and poppy seed bun. The new Big Arch sauce is packed full of that instantly recognisable McDonald’s flavour – rich and creamy, it brings the Big Arch to life in every bite. Amanda Nakad, Marketing Director of Menu and Brand for McDonald’s Australia, says, “This isn’t your average burger; it’s the most loaded bite we’ve ever served. The Big Arch is a step up for when your usual order won’t cut it – here for when the hunger hits hard and you need a burger that understands the assignment. “After being met with huge success in overseas markets, it’s finally landed in Australia – loud, proud and ready to take on your hunger.” Similar to its siblings on the menu, the Big Arch features 100% Aussie beef sourced from dedicated farmers across the country. The Big Arch is available in restaurants, Drive-Thru and MyMacca’s app nationwide from Wednesday 16 July 2025.

Anthony Albanese and Michelle Geber Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese visited Château Tanunda Cellar Door in Sydney ahead of his visit to China. The two discussed the reopening of the Chinese market following tariffs and the positive impact it has had on the winery. “We are so honoured to have the Prime Minister here to visit us at Château Tanunda at our Sydney cellar door here in the Rocks,” said Geber. “The resumption of trade in China has meant so much to our business over the last few years, with an increase of 1,000 per cent of our sales into China.” On the Prime Minister’s itinerary is Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu. He is also scheduled to meet President Xi Jinping, Premier Li Qiang and Chairman Zhao Leji of the National People’s Congress during his visit. “Australia is producing, in my view, the best wine in the world, and importantly as well that’s what the world thinks because they want to purchase our products,” said Albanese. “The relationship with China is an important one, as is our relationships when it comes to exports with the north Asian economies of South Korea and Japan.”
