Bundy, steak and Belgian delights

My apologies for the hiatus, I’ve been too busy going out and around, in and around! This means that I now have plenty to write about in this blog post.

Last weekend Mark, Colin and I made the trek up to Bundaberg to take advantage of the long weekend and to see the family.

On the way to Bundy, we stopped at Laurel Tree Cottage coffee shop in Childers for a much needed coffee and breakfast stop. Coffee and bread is obviously very rare in Childers as the price of coffee and toast was astronomical! We paid $4.50 for a small (very average) coffee, and $4.50 for 2 pieces of thin toast with vegemite. Definitely by-pass this place if you ever venture for a Bundy or beyond adventure.

We stayed at one of the very few pet friendly accommodation options in Bundy, Absolute Ocean Front Caravan Park at Bargara. As the name suggests, the park is absolute ocean front. Our cabin was right next to the water, if we were any closer, we would have been in the ocean! The cabin was basic but contained everything you need for a weekend away. I highly recommend it. Address is 117 Woongarra Scenic Drive, Bargara.

Unfortunately I didn’t experience any gastronomical delights in Bundy this time but can I just add that I enjoyed 2 local delicacies – a rooster roll from Red Rooster and a fruit flan from the Cheesecake Shop. I will not comment any further...

On Wednesday night, I had dinner at the Regatta Boatshed and can I just say that its steaks definitely give the Breakkie Creek Hotel and the Norman Hotel a run for their money. I ordered the 300g eye fillet. A tasty bit of meat from the Angus, Hereford cross from the southern darling downs farming group. The lucky cow was pasture fed for 30 months and 100 day grain fed before it ended up on my plate. I have not had a steak that tender in a long, long time; it just melted in my mouth. The Regatta Boatshed is located at 543 Coronation Drive, Toowong.

Now what would a post be without some reference to French food. Tomorrow Mark and I are off to the Belgian Beer Café (Ok so it’s technically not French food but it is close enough). Mark and I are also celebrating our 12 month anniversary in our lovely townhouse. We will be cracking a open a bottle of Moet (very French) to celebrate. More on all that next week…
