Food and pubs.

We spent each evening in the hotel; eating a meal then playing pool. It was the 'blind man' vs the 'tall man' and, overall, the tall man won the unofficial tournament. Playing pool while wearing multifocals proved to be unexpectedly difficult and it was better to remove them and tolerate the blurred vision. The Harley Davidson jacket shown in the photo is a recent purchase, a very practical design and worn with some pride. (It's covered by another jacket when worn on the Ducati!) There's no shortage of good places to eat. We visited the pub in Pyengana two days in a row. The bakery in Scottsdale is a new favourite where Ben bought four pies for $5 just before closing time. There's a nice bakery at St Marys too and, on the previous visit, we discovered that general stores in small towns make excellent hamburgers with the lot. As for vegetarians, chips and salad is always a good option.
