Lamb, Kangaroo and Pavlova

Charlton Fuentes and Geoff Michaels at DBDOC
training session at Queensland Alumina.
We have just finished two days of DBDOC advanced workshop sessions at Gladstone.

Children have been enjoying their spring break from school this week and next. I was just offered and ate a delicious ripe tomato. As spring turns to summer, the tomato season is over in Queensland just as it is in southern California six months earlier. The summer season is too hot for plants like tomatoes to thrive.

Last night we visited with friends, and had a lovely home prepared meal of lamb and kangaroo. The meal was finished with a delicious Australian dessert of Pavlova and fresh fruit. I also found out there are several snowboarding and skiing resorts in southern Australia, open in their winter season (May to August).

Tomorrow is a driving day as we go further south. Geoff enjoys driving. Driving on the other side of the road seems to come naturally for him. We will be traveling through kangaroo country, so we are looking forward to see one or more as we drive by.
