When we left for Hope Island Marina yesterday it was with no food as Quarantine had cleaned us out. Golla and I decided that the Quarantine gentleman must have an amazing fridge, freezer and pantry filled with all kinds of exotic goodies. I mean he even took the frozen cheese and butter. So we all snacked on crackers, some more Shimmi baked bread, baked beans + cans of tuna during yesterdays 10 hour drive to Hope Island Marina. When we realised that we were not going to make it before sunset we "pulled over" and anchored at Cabbage Tree village. Hysterical. The first of the 2 shops said she could only serve us hot chips but that the shop 500m down the road had EVERYTHING. 500m no way.....give us $3 of chips...and so the 4 of us feasted over a massive pile of french fries served on a massive sheet of paper. THEN we trekked down the road to shop no 2 which had french fries AND hamburgers....3 hamburgers please....AND 2 carrots, 2 apples, 4 bananas and 2 avos....and strawberries. We cleaned them out. Gosh was so excited by the strawberries that he would not release the little box until we were back on Shimmi and then promptly stuffed them leaves and all down his throat.
I have never been to Australia so Cabbage Tree Town was all rather exciting!
