Now Wash Your Hands

When we were driving back to Canberra from Queensland in November last year we stopped for lunch (as tradition dictates) in Cudal, something I have been doing since the late 1980s. I can't remember the previous names of the establishment I stop at, but the latest incarnation is "Platypus Pantry" - and it's the best of the lot.

I had an excellent toasted egg and bacon ciabatta (with tomato sauce, thank you Susan), but of course, before you eat you must wash your hands. This is done in the very Australian way: at the water tank, drying your hands on a towel hanging on a nail. The only jarring note was modern style hand wash.

It's a bit tricky photographing this kind of thing with people sitting around, but Susan managed it.
