Island 3


Driving back down through forests of spotted gum to the coast ...




Australian salmon - caught on a hand reel with a Xmas tree lure - are not so great to eat, with the exception of being pulverised into spiced fish cakes. This one was returned to its sea home.







South coast tucker!












Wishing that we had another day (or six) on this island, the weather was closing in and telling us to make for the coast once again.

 



Back at Katie and Tony's south coast forest to eat the landscape that we had been paddling through ...

Bendalong bruschetta ~ Sourdough from Berry grilled over a blackbutt fire.

South coast freshwater eel ~ panfried in olive oil, garlic and red chillis.


The south coast island crays ~ poached variously between 5 and 7 minutes and dressed in lemons from a south coast garden.
