Byron Beach Cafe
Byron Beach Cafe… the very last breakfast of my holidays Yes, we are back in ol’ Byron town. Home of everything hippy, happy, holistic and often hellishly hippy-critical. The last two weeks have been an absolute blast and now, all of sudden the holiday is over. Two weeks of lovely, beautiful holidays are done. It’s…

Grill’d. A place to eat burgers…
Grill’d. A place to eat burgers… Grill’d at Coolangatta. A place to eat burgers and look at scantily clad women and guys with really big arms… Another contender for the trendy-and-maybe-a-little-bit-healthier-fast-food-chain-of-the-year award. These guys do make a good burger. From seemingly humble beginnings in Sydney they have grown to a chain of at least two…

Jungle curry goat
Jungle curry goat… Good enough to make me gloat Hot enough to take you by the throat Definitely worth more than a single groat (Is this what my life has become?) And that shall be the jingle for my new goat curry café. Or maybe it won’t be. In any case I’d need to get…

Lunch at Le Relais Bressan, Flaxton
Lunch at Le ble bleu blah blah… Or lunch at Le Relais Bressan (if you can speak French a little better then Joey from “Friends” circa 1990s sometime), Flaxton. This place was the best dining “experience” of our trip. Good food and wine, great service and meals that hit your table fast… Three courses in…

A toast, a toast, to the Sunday roast… for mid week dinner
Too often the great Sunday roast is a concept that is abandoned to die a lonely death in a post apocaliptic waste land of shriveled up battery hens, tough, dry-as-Egyptian-sand-script lamb, under cooked potatoes, over cooked greyish hued beans and gravox gravy. Or maybe the baine marie for the “pension card holders 9 dollar special”…

Spirit House Restaurant and Cooking School, Yandina, Qld
Now that we have our sea side adventures out of the way, it’s time for us to try a little mountain life. Like top o’ the range, can see for fifty kilometers to the Pacific Ocean (good to keep an eye out for sea born invasion), king of the hills type business. Git right up…

Iluka 2466, day three
Day three. Wake up at crazy a.m. (an actual time) and straight into a brisk walk through the forest. Whatever made me think that was going to be a great idea also decided I needed a slap up, country town breakfast complete with the same cheap white bread that has nourished white trash kids for…

Iluka 2466, day two
Day two. We opt for breakfast at the house as Iluka is one of those places that has “tastee omelet” (quoted directly from the menu) or “baked beans on toast for $6.50” type breakfast joints. I’m not saying that I’m a food snob but… I’m just not feeling the baked beans on cheap white bread…
