I originally prepared the text for this post last Tuesday but my pc decided not to save it so when I went to publish it, just the pictures were there... grrr!~
For that reason, I will keep it fairly word free, suffice to say that we had a great time again at the GGE - ate too much, drank just enough and enjoyed the day...~
Halls Gap Caravan Park...~
Taking the chill off the night - T2 Chai tea in the billy...~
Ruby all set up...~
Gus prepared our Saturday night dinner early so we had something to come home to... fresh garlic and rosemary, oil, salt and pepper marinade for some lamb cutlets...
~
Our friends Peter and Kathy were joining us later in the day.

Pop them in a zip-lock bag, give them a good smoosh around then whack them in the fridge to marinate all day...~
Off to the festival - glass of wine first up while we watched Adrian Richardson (Good Chef/Bad Chef) do his cooking demonstration...~
~
Making sausages in a caulking gun - fun times!~
Sampling some beer and cider...~
I didn't have the Belgian Waffles...~
... but I asked a passerby if I could photograph hers... she obliged! Gus thought I was a bit cheeky!~
So many stalls with yummy food - cupcake anyone?~
Obligatory Lavender stall...~
Homemade goodies...~
We had lamb, fetta, caramelised onion and tomato wood fired pizzas for lunch... Gus wants one of these for our back yard - I keep saying 'How many pizzas can we eat?' ...~
So many soap stalls - it is a big industry in country Victoria, obviously...~
Cute Goats Milk soaps (love the molds) - each soap is named after a goat...~
This nutty lady was selling wonderful toasted, slated, spiced and toffeed peanuts, almonds and cashews. She even had earrings made of almonds!~
A bigger crowd than last year, I think...~
More soaps...~
Olive oil and olives...~
Again more soaps - not as good as Granny's though!~
Sauces, jams and jellies...~
Mettwurst, pickles and sauces...~
Poffertjes! ~
It was late in the afternoon so I succumbed...~
Back at the caravan park, the kangaroos come in on dusk, hoping to be fed. They are quite tame but I kept my distance - wouldn't want to tangle with one of them...~
~
Time to pop those cutlets on the BabyQ for dinner...~
We had potatoes roasted in campfire coals, tossed salad, warm pasta and olive bread.~
~
Camp breakfast...~
We stopped quickly to take a picture of the Big Koala then it was off home - time to unpack Ruby, tidy her up and put her away for another adventure.~
Cheers - Joolz
