It took a few trips back to the store to finally decide on the purchase of my very first one, a red messenger bag (I forgot the quirky name already since I sold it years ago).

Flower arrangements and decor that was made to look like the Australian flag adorned the tables. Taking a seat and settling down was when I chanced upon the menu announcing the dishes we were having.... crocodile for appetizer, kangaroo for the main course and lemon myrtle for dessert. It was quite a shock but one thing I learned since blogging is that I should have an open mind or more apt, taste buds
