TPR's Official Australia Trip Update Thread!

What about a meat pie? Anyone give them ago.
I always get strange looks in the states when i mention them.

I did try a chicken-and-mushroom pie from a Pie Face location--it was OK. I thought the Outback Spectacular pavlova was OK, too, but it would've been better without the strange filling (I think it was some sort of kiwi puree). I had pavlova last christmas at my niece's house, and it was quite a bit different.

The Australian Hotel's pepper kangaroo pizza was pretty good.

Pretty sure it's pasionfruit on the top chuck and then whatever that red sauce is...

^This filling was some grayish-green stuff, which made me think "kiwi" ( a fruit I don't care for). I liked the red sauce, though.

[djrappaWhat would donkeys be like on the moon?]

I think it probably looked grey/green (when it's actually orange) due to the poor lighting provided from the shows sub standard lighting designer!

Bloody amatures

Never even heard of that before, must try it out.

^ Yes that pepper kangaroo pizza was really good. I would get it again...

In a postscript to the tour, Sydney's coaster population has exploded six-fold today, albeit carnie death coasters. Here's the line-up:

Fear Tower: carnie Euro-fighter, kept the rescue authorities busy last year.
Taipan: a Galaxy snooze coaster.
Crazy Mouse: spinning mouse, like nobody has ever ridden one of them.
And for the kiddies, credit whores, and NAMBLA; there's a Dragon Wagon and Miner Mike.

I work across the road from the Easter show site & the euro-fighter has already broken down at least once. Not bad for day one!

[downunderWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

That thing is scary, but given the chance, I'd ride it for sure.

Looks like a decent line up of rides this year.

Ah now, please don't sully the good name of the Gerstlauer Euro-Fighter by lumping that godawful heap of junk in the same category. Cool & Fresh was by all accounts diabolical/awful when it operated in this part of the world, but then there's quite a tradition of Europeans shipping their undesirables to Australia...
