Just a little footnote: Australia has some lovely, if unusual, food.

Crocodile is nice(ish), but is very very very tough. And has no flavour.

Barramundi is a beautiful alternative to the usual fare back home. And Fish 'n' Chips is a somewhat gourmet affair in Oz.

Nicest of all however, is Kangaroo. It tastes somewhere between lamb and beef, but it has to be eaten medium rare, otherwise it's as tough as a Cassowarie's nadsack.

I look forward to some more tropical food later on, including the infamous Durian fruit (smells like an open sewer, tastes like toffee). Untill then, Bon Appetite!
