Culinary delights


The cheese was wonderful.

As we were leaving I was surprised to see them watering the lawn (given the state of the local dam) but was told they have ample ground water so no water restrictions. Looks like there's some good grapes on their way.


Some more big raindrops fell but went away just as quickly as they came.
Temperature 39C.

    What's that dark red heartshaped thing behind the cheese??

    Oii, just had dinner .. I am too full to look at this photo any longer ... ;-)


    (dictionary says "tea" (Aust.; Brit.; N.Z.) for dinner - really? It's a quarter to ten now, nothing I would associate with tea ... )

    The red heart shaped thing is a poached pear.

    When I was a kid our meals for the day were breakfast, dinner and tea. These days most people say breakfast, lunch and dinner. Though I still lapse into calling it "tea".

    A quarter to ten ... we don't eat that late. Dinner/Tea is usually around 7-8pm, earlier if you have kids.

    Hi, it's a very great blog.
    I could tell how much efforts you've taken on it.
    Keep doing!

    The first looks very tasty, and very elegant in its square plate.

    On weekends I am always late with everything: breakfast at 11, lunch at 15, coffee at 18 and dinner at 21.

    Ditto with the names of meals.

    Now I am confoosed with this "groundwater" thing. These are the acquifa's (s[?) and artesian basins that the geology of this country is riddled with, yes?

    I thought water restrictions applied to this, too. Just because Fred Bloggs has a useful well on his property he cannot waste water because it does not actually belong to him. It belongs to us all.

    How sayest thou?

    Yes they are those aquifers. These days I think you have to have permits to sink bores. There is also a major conservation exercise going on to cap free flowing bores.

    Yes it is a shared resource but quite plentiful so I don't think we've got really serious about conserving it ... though I'm no expert on the matter.

Larras Lee

We passed through Bakers Swamp without noticing anything.  Then reached our last dot on the map for this trip - Larras Lee and saw this.  The roadside monument says: In Memory of  WILLIAM LEE  (1794 - 1870)  of "Larras Lake"  a pioneer of the sheep  and cattle industry  and first member for  Roxburgh under responsible  government (1856 - 1859).  This stone was erected  by his descendants.  --- 1938 --- This is a repost from a few days ago. Thinking I would use this for this week’s Taphophile Tragics post I dug a little further into William Lee’s story, it’s a very colonial Australian one. William was born of convict parents, living his childhood years around the Sydney region. In his early 20s he was issued with some government cattle, recommended as a suitable settler and granted 134 acres at Kelso near Bathurst. He was one of the first in the area and did well. A few years later he was granted a ram and an increase in his land to 300 acres. William developed a r

The end

I retire from the workforce this week and to celebrate have decided to retire my current blogs and start afresh with a single consolidated blog -  My Bright Field  - to record the delights of my new life adventure. If you are interested follow me over there.  I will still be Sweet Wayfaring and collecting Royal Hotels.  The delights I discover along the way will appear together with my gardens and towns where I live.

Coolibah?

Is that a Coolibah tree beside the abandoned house? Every Australian knows about Coolibah trees because the bush ballad Waltzing Matilda is nigh on our unoffical national anthem but most of us live nowhere near the inland where they grow. Once a jolly swagman camped by a billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me. Waltzing Matilda, Waltzing Matilda, You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me, And he sang as he watched and waited till his billy boiled You'll come a Waltzing Matilda with me.
