I'd see nothing wrong with working my way along that top shelf, something different each week. For _research_ purposes, I mean.

The trick is to get one for Jane too ☺️

That's a ridiculous spread. Give me one of everything, please.

I don't see this as an excuse for gluttony so much as multi-tasking (exercise + sweet reward while Jane swims) done right 🤤

This is the park referenced in my comment. 5 minutes from Chateau Rhino.

An eagle couple lives in the park as well.

I’m not ashamed to say that the significant other and I took a nice walk in the park yesterday and ended it at The Boathouse - which is the parks restaurant and bar housed in, you guessed it, an historic boathouse on a lake - at which we each consumed 2 pints of a beautiful local microbrew Porter as reward.

Your sweet tooth is thankfully something that doesn't align with my tastes so i can read these posts with impunity. However, the satay chicken we had camping on the first post covid boys camping weekend is another matter. Think chicken cooked over coals, a satay sauce to shame some of the best grannies home recipes, fluffy rice and all serenaded by the bubbling creek on a warm summers night. (things have progressed from the old days of throwing a swag on the ground and heating a can of cream of something on the hexy cooker). I gained a few kilos this weekend.

Obviously the photo is limited in scope but the question needs to be asked. Do you actually have the snot block up in QLD. I was thinking about moving up that way but this could be a game changer.

That pains me - I was walking through West End for the first time in about 20 years just a few months ago, and didn't notice this place! There is nowhere comparable anywhere near my current abode...
