Bankstown

I visit Bankstown pretty frequently now that my Nan is in a nursing home out that way. I love being the only Aussie wondering this street (aptly named Saigon Place) and having coffee in the cafes and checking out the grocery shops. I love all the different fruits in the Asian stores and love buying heaps of cheap Asian greens. The colours and textures are fascinating.

Melbourne Food and Fun

We had a fantastic morning at the Queen Victoria markets checking out all the wonderful produce, I really wish we had the equivalent in Sydney. Such a great place to get wonderful seafood, meat, cheeses, chocolates, fruit and vegies all under one roof. We will need to go back for longer than a weekend next time so we can actually cook with some of the great food available.

I haven’t been on a rollercoaster for at least 15 years, but I broke the drought at Luna Park and went on a ride that was great fun. Although I do admit that I was more scared than the seven year old girls in front of us!
