Dubbo

A town not too close to home that we have now visited the first time in our life, though camping in Australia since 1998.Why (not)? Dubbo is a small country town in the West of New South Wales, Australia. Some people know this town only by passing between Melbourne or Adelaide visiting their families at Christmas during the longer Xmas vacations: A typical Stop Over Country Town. Why (not) live in Dubbo? We were interested to find about the past and visited the Old Dubbo Goal (jail), where about 150 executions are nicely documented between 1865 and 1930. Interesting, indeed … The colonial past of Australia. Another highlight is the unique open plan Zoo in Dubbo. And last not least the Flying Doctors Service life and in Action on large screen. Now you know, why a stop over on the roads to Melbourne or Brisbane is a great idea. Where to stay? There are huts on the camp sites there, we used the G‘Day Parks.

OZWORD OF THE DAY: "Neenish tart" Australia has a number of sweet, baked treats. To the best of my knowledge the classic ‘Ice Vo Vo’ is ours. (As a friend of mine remarked: ‘Is it always plural? Or is it possible to have an Iced Vo?’)  In Adelaide you can find a try a frog cake– a small cake shaped like a frog with an open mouth and covered in icing (usually green, although pink and chocolate are also available), invented by Balfours bakery of Adelaide in 1922.  Or, perhaps, you’d like a sinker a solid fruit square, with flaky pastry on the top and bottom and topped with pink icing. Or, perhaps, a German cake – a yeast cake with a crumble topping sometimes with fruit (either apple or apricot) under the crumble.  But then there’s the classic ‘neenish tart’—the great Australian baked treat.  A neenish tart is a small pastry case filled with mock cream and iced in two colours – white and…
