Closer view still:
Merely a closer view still, for those of you who like to see things close up.
By the way, an aside about Australian food. The stereotype that Australian food is meat-focused is quite accurate.
(On my first trip to Australia, several years ago, members of the Australian Carnivorous Plant Society made a point of
taking me to restaurant so I could sample kangaroo and emu.)
Meanwhile, Beth does not eat meat, except for invertebrates and fish.
This is sometimes a lifestyle that is difficult for her to maintain because the girl grew up mostly in Chicago, land of
bratwurst and sausage, and she grieves dearly for her hotdogs. I thought it would be amusing to see how rapidly
she degenerated back into a meat-eating lifestyle during this trip.
Already, not 48 hours into this trip, she had eaten a hotdog! (I think it was
along the philosophy of "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.")
Incidentally, the hamburger that I ate back at the Road Warrior Café was excellent. Did you know that in
Australia, it is common for hamburgers to be served with a fried egg and a few beet slices in the bun? Sound strange, but it
works.
