A bit of Cairns Show fun
Years ago I went to the Cairns show (the only time I had been) and remember looking at the baking section and thinking, hey, I could beat that. So, this year I put my actions where my thoughts were and went for it and it turned out to be quite a fun experience. So here are the winners..jpg)
I just had to enter the packet cake section...like how hard can that be? Note to self: don't try cooking a cake while studying! I burnt the bottom of the cake so chopped the bottom off and still ended up getting first. The thing is...that chocolate cake to the left looked real good and I would eat it before I would eat my cake

I got second in the damper. It didn't quite turn out like a damper but rather as a large scone. The mixture got a bit too wet and the outside didn't chrisp up like it should have.

Second for pikelets...nanna would be so proud. It was her recipe

And highly commended for my famous muffins. My work mates think I got ripped off

Don't ask me what the flower is. As I said to the judge when I picked up my photos...it was there so I took a photo of it.

And, finally a third for my Congo kid. I love this photo.

Photos of my backyard
Well, not literally my backyard but a gorge on the outskirts of Cairns. This is Crystal Cascades which is a popular swimming spot in Cairns during summer for the locals (tourists swim in it all year!). The water is still a bit chilly for my liking. I have been doing a photography course, not that you can tell from the 'merry' card below but this is a photo I took on Sunday at 7am...crazy!
