Port Broughton Weekend Away

by Robyn Brody

The weekenders all arrived Friday and settled in to watch the sunset and enjoy a shared meal.

Saturday, back to the now famous 'Camp Kitchen' for a communal brekkie before motoring to Wallaroo. First stop - refreshments. A leisurely walk on a small section of the heritage trail to get us though till lunch. A visit to the museum and the drive home. Bubbles on the beach at Fisherman's Bay before dinner at Palette to Palate followed by after dinner drinks.

Brenton, Jason and Bryan arrived Sunday morning for another big brekkie at the Dock of the Bay. Off we went via Mundoora to Redhill for lunch at the local pub after another museum visit. An easy motor to Snowtown (some folks were banking on that!) where it took Julie and Liz so long to buy our pies for tea, we were beginning to think it was the Sweeney Todd bakery.

Back through some beautiful green countryside to the Bute Hotel for more refreshments before the the drive home.

At this point, someone suggested that rather than just be a food and wine club, we should think about expanding to have a car component to Qcar. General decision - we need time to think about that!

Fish, Chips. Is there more to life than this?
(Many would say, "Yes there is.")


South Australian's just love a shnitty.
(Why?)


Isn't this lovely! Those little cane baskets were just so popular in the 70s. (I'm sure that same little petrified basket of bread hasn't been making the rounds of the table for the past 40 years. No couldn't happen. Could it?)


The (in)famous salad selection! Brian, Peter, Bryan, Brenton and Jason look on in astonishment at the vast and appetising selection. You can just tell Brenton is thrilled - indeed I predict that this meal will one day be the inspiration for his first cook book - "The Joy of Coleslaw".
