DAY 14 BARBECUE WINTER

DAY 14 BARBECUE WINTER

Was a stunning winters day today with perfect blue sky's, I had a good bike ride up to and around some of the 1000acres that make up Kings Park which overlooks the city and the Swan river. Met up with some other poms from the Lodge who were planning a barbecue and was invited to join them.

We were promised a Barbecue Summer by the Met office in the UK but as usual apart from the odd few nice days that Promise was broken so was looking forward to my first bbq of the year, however it would have to wait for a while as they were taken over by large groups so we decided to head to South Perth instead.

I cycled back to the lodge to fetch some Kangaroo I had left over then made a quick stop at the bottlo for some wine and cycled round to South Perth by which time it was dark so would be a winter nights bbq!

They are free to use gas ones but we made 2 mistakes forgetting the bring any cooking oil or cleaning stuff, pretty soon the meat was sizzling like crazy including poor old Skippy and was sticking to the bbq, Once cooked a large plume of smoke emerged upwards from the bbq as we fighted with a spatula to attempt to clean them but only really succeeded in melting the spatula!

I can see the Aussies now shaking their heads at the sight of it and muttering, “Bloody Poms!”
