Bagel School

We had the most lovely family visit us, Cathy & Mat Rogers and their 5 kids Kimberly, Lilly, Lauchlan, Zac and Breeze, for Pizza.  They're travelling around Australia for a couple of years doing volunteer work along the way. Graham met them when he was working at Melaleuca. They popped over for a pizza visit  on their way over to a stint volunteering on Bruny Island, then came back for an afternoon Bagel Making 101 session on their way up to Triabunna.  We had a great time with them with everyone having a go, and 4 dozen extremely yummy bagels were created.





Graham set up our horse shoe pit. He's a natural so I'm going to have to practice.

Notice the peanut gallery - they're always watching...
We had my old boss from GBRMPA in Townsville over - Mango and his wife Brigid for a pizza night. Mango's on his way down for a season working on Macquarie Island. 
Brigid and Mango Mangles - and Graham of course.
Next adventure was an abalone dive. Liam dove with Graham, they got enough for a nice feed.

Now that's a big one.
Preparing the Abalone
 This weekend not only did we dive for Abalone, Graham also started our garden project. He organised 4 pods and earth and spent all day Thursday setting them up.  We bought some winter seedlings, and Saturday we spent planting and putting netting over to keep the 'critters' out.
