Right on ’cue

We had to travel halfway around the world before we could find CC in a can. It’s a little taste of home for $5.20. Actually, it was pretty watered down and not really worth it. To tell you the truth, we only bought that so we could take a picture of it for the blog, so if you’re reading this then you owe us money.

We've been getting rained out at a lot of our campsites, so we've been resorting to hanging out for the afternoon at the community RSL (Returned and Services League), which is essentially the Australian equivalent to the Royal Canadian Legion. It’s nothing like what you’d expect from the neighbourhood chapter of the Legion back home. It’s got a fancy café, a hoity-toity bar, slot machines, off-track horse race betting, gourmet food (for cheap cheap cheap), and, most important, the fastest wifi anywhere. Acutally, scratch that. What’s really most important is the red wine by the glass for $2.40…God bless government subsidies. We plan to eventually hit up every RSL from Melbourne to Brisbane. I just have to make sure Gamblor, aka Elise, doesn’t blow our travel budget on the 10 cent slots.

Anyone who’s been to Oz knows about the barbecue culture here. There are public barbecues on pretty much every corner in every town in Australia. In fact, I’d say that public barbecues are to Australia what Tim Hortons are to Canada. This fits well with our love of delicious food because nothing enhances the deliciousness of food like when you barbecue it. We actually barbecued our last four meals. Not kidding. I did French toast on the ’cue this morning.
