Firestarter


Today Tim and Mal drove us up to a lookout in the D'Aguilar National Park with extensive views over the mountains and valley out towards the sea at Moreton Bay.  The lookout has built in barbecues, so all you have to do to get cooking is collect fallen wood and light it underneath.

Of course Tim and Mal had brought lots of lovely food and drink, with Barramundi, steaks, salad, fresh pineapple from down the road, and Mal’s homemade caramel pie, all on a picnic table with a proper tablecloth; pretty good for a casual Sunday barbie!

Tim cooked in between encouraging the birds to sing by impersonating bird calls, so we now think of him as the Bird Whisperer. And of course the aromas of all that lovely food cooking, especially the monster prawns you can see here, from Moreton bay brought a few extra visitors to the picnic table including this persistent Goanna who wouldn’t take no for an answer and kept coming back from every angle.
