STT’s Australian of the Year Awards 2016

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i15OPuFvmA **** Australians are a weird mob - as demonstrated by that, somewhat militaristic, culinary mash up; detailing 'Operation Boomerang' - a top-level mission to extract expats from far-flung, lamb-free-zones and return them to mouth-watering, succulent barbecued delights. The fact that Aussies love our lamb, and frown on vegans, upsets the PC Police, but then … Continue reading STT’s Australian of the Year Awards 2016

Ned Kelly, the only gluten intolerant bushranger in history - born in Victoria, to an Irish convict father … Continue reading STT’s Australian of the Year Awards
