Great Places To Visit.

We've recently brought ourselves a caravan for traveling around Australia, starting next year.  I decided that rather than buy a boring doona for the beds (we opted for 2 singles for more walk space) I would make quilts for the beds.  This is the first of 2 that I am making.  I choose to do this one first as I just loved these fabrics the most.  The second one is for my hubby's bed, so I choose black and white for him. He didn't really want a pretty "girly" quilt.  Strange man. (LOL) Still working on it. How I choose: I went to a Craft and Quilting Expo armed with $$$$.  I've always loved Asian prints, so went straight to a stall selling them.  Decided on a center piece panel.

For mains I opted for a 250g Eye Fillet Medium.  Comes on a potato rosti.  I ordered table sides of mashed potato, broccolini, and pear, parmesan and rocket salad.  Others ordered the slow cooked lamb shoulder with roast pumpkin (for 2) Yummy, yummy, yummy.  We all shared a mixture of desserts, chocolate platter (so delish), lemon delicious pudding, a cheesecake thingy, don't know what it was but it looked great. There were 4 of us.  We ate 3 courses! Stuffed to the eyebrows with wonderful, fresh, exquisitely prepared tummy filling deliciousness.  What more can I say?  You MUST try it sometime.  It is a beautiful restaurant, service is good and the foo
