Where have I been?

OK - Not entirely sure, but I think this is a record for not posting!  Almost two months. 

Time flies when living in a tropical paradise!

Of course we had a HOT Christmas.  (So not normal for people from the northern hemisphere.)

Our last scheduled company arrived and left.  (Once again- SO MUCH FUN!!!)  Zoo, Koala Sanctuary, shopping, Beach, aquarium, beach, surf lessons, beach, beach...oh yeah...and we went to the beach.  :)

A trip to Melbourne and Sydney (pictures to come)!

However, today is about Australia Day and the Aussie Tucker we had to celebrate. 

The menu included:
Smoked Emu pastrami
Smoked Crocodile
Roo tail and Tasmanian possum sausage

and for the first time in my life...

Camel. 

The Emu and Crocodile were GREAT.  The camel had a good taste but tough.  The roo and possum sausage wasn't my favorite.  I just don't have a real craving for possum. 

My real favorite dish though was the damper (soda bread)...but you can't live on bread alone!!  :)
