Diary, Life in Australia, Old Age 1 Minute

RIMG1589

Yesterday, on Sunday, we made it to the Pie Shop. We made it actually twice to the shop. In the morning, on our way to the Fitzroy Falls, we stopped there for a meat pie and a cup of tea. On the way home in the afternoon we did buy an apricot pie with fresh cream to take home. This apricot pie was absolutely delicious. Sorry, I did not take a picture of it. But I took a picture of my curry meat pie which was lovely too.

On the way to the Fitzroy Falls we wanted to drive through BURRAWANG. We went along a beautiful scenic road. We stopped to take some pictures.

  2. I’ve never had rhubarb cake. We make rhubarb pies in these parts. Sometimes rhubarb with strawberry. A pie shop is right down my alley.

    I enjoy reading the names of places in your posts. Burrawang. It rolls off my tongue even though I may be mispronouncing it.

    1. Hi Pat, Garrison Keillor sings about rhubarb pie in the movie A Prairie Home Companion which I love. 🙂 I like cooked rhubarb as a desert with thick custard or ice-cream.
      We have a lot of names in Australia that have an aboriginal origin.
      Burrawang is named after the name of a plant.

    1. Hi Robert!

      This is what the Wikipedia says:

      “Burrawang may refer to:
      A common name for the cycad species Macrozamia communis (a plant)
      By association, also a common name for other species in the genus Macrozamia
      The town of Burrawang, New South Wales, named after the cycad.”

    1. You are right, Ian, they are that old! 🙂
      Properties in the area are very expensive. You can only afford them if you are a millionaire. I like it when old buildings like this are lovingly restored. 🙂
      Cheers, Auntyuta
