Thats the menu folks, I think I speak for everyone that had a chance to eat this wonderful meal is that boy were we full after it and it was absolutely scrumptious. We still managed to get the energy levels up and go into the city, to welcome in the christmas day. Ended up in a place called the "Side Bar" on Pitt Street where the bells were ringing out for christmas day with a countdown at midnight. Dancing, drinks and all that christmas brings, and how can I forget the night link home!

Hope you enjoyed your green Christmas in Auz and are looking forward to a new year in 2010! Much love, XOXO. Meg (& Ben)
