Our Aussie Day weekend (Pt 1) ...

 We had a lovely Australia Day long weekend, starting with our visitors arriving on Friday night.

~

 Saturday morning, I decided to make some lamingtons (Wikipedia definition here) ... First I made a butter cake in a slice tin...

~

 They turned out well but they were a bit hard to work with as the cake was so fresh.  I made a runny chocolate icing mix with icing sugar, cocoa and milk...

~

 ~

 It was a messy job but worth it in the end...

~

 Ta dah!

~

 Lunch was Wagyu sausages and beef shasliks with a salad platter and fresh bread...

~

 then we packed up and headed for McIntyre's beach and set up camp in Ruby and a 3 man tent.

~

 We had all the mod-cons!  Ensuite toilet... haha!

~

 Once again, pizza was on the menu.  This is olive oil, potato, garlic, potato, rosemary, bocconcini  and parmesan cheese...

~

 The cooked product - so tasty.

~

 Then I did a few others with the normal toppings...  They just got better and better!

~

 My pizzeria kitchen...

~

 Sun doing down, glass of red and a slice of pizza!

~

 Gus and Kelvin wanted one last pizza later in the night - this is their sad effort!

~

 Our camp fire kept us warm, although the wind whipped up so it was quite chilly.

~

 Enjoying the coastline...

~

 ~

 Getting that camp 

fire going and sorting out a bottle of red...

~

 Great sunset...

~

 ~

 S'mores for our visitors (I know, not very Australian - but they are yummy) ...

~

 A hot cup of tea next morning...

~

 Scrambled eggs...

~

Bacon and toast cooked on the barby with the eggs...

~

We packed up and headed home, tired and wind blown.
