Good Friday and a great Aussie BBQ


Harry's Cafe de Wheels. Famous Aussie meat pies!



Charleston style houses in Sydney.

Two of the guests (Jo from Durham UK and Camile from France)  at Eva’s have decided to have a BBQ to celebrate Good Friday, and they anticipated about 10-12 people signing up. In the end there were closer to 35. It was $8 AUS each and you bought your own drink. 



During the day almost everyone pitched in to prepare the food. We had chicken kebabs, Kangaroo Kebabs and various salads and pastas as well as some beautifully presented snacks. There are quite a few people from Germany and Holland, one American girl who has just been on Antarctica for 4 months, and a couple that had arrived from Frankfurt that morning.































I also talked with a girl from Auckland NZ who works for a hotel chain and is setting up offices in Sydney. Lots of the people had been to NZ and universally enjoyed the experience as I did. David was an English guy in his late 40s who had given up work for a while (worked in fashion I think) and had been traveling for a couple of months. 

I was impressed as he had all of his possessions in a backpack and said it was 9kg total. Lessons to be learned there for sure.
