@Tony Press , Good to see some traditional Afrikaner delicasies there in Tassie. How did you go about drying it, Tony? Next, maybe melktert and koeksisters? Melktert - Wikipedia Koeksister - Wikipedia
Phil It’s too cold and humid here at the moment to hang outside to dry, so I cheated by using a low temperature on the food dehydrator. Cheers Tony @phaedrus42
@Tony Press , It is easiest to dry outside (in a netting enclosure) during winter in an area with summer rainfall where the winters are cold and dry like the Transvaal Highveld or Namibia. Here in the Cape we have a Mediterranean climate so most drying is also in cold rooms with air dryers.
The first stay is at a beach near Marrawah in the north west of Tasmania. It’s not very crowded: 180° panorama. A good place for cloud spotting: The waves had bought in much kelp and other sea weed: The rocks are about 500g/1lb showing the power of the rather mild weather for this part of the coast. And the sand was patterned by the wash and minerals: Cheers Tony
No dip! (Even though it was mild for this time of year). Later in the night the wind became gale force with the cabin we are staying in creaking as the gusts blew over. Today was fine (mostly) allowing a three hour walk through cool temperate rainforest along an old bridle track (the Balfour walking track): fabulous fungi and beautiful forest; followed by tea made on a kerosene Optimus No. 111. Many photos of the forest, but on my camera, and not enough bandwidth here to transfer. I’ll post the camera photos later, but here’s a taster: Cheers Tony
Hello Tony, thanks for sharing the photographs and seaweed is great fertiliser, I often add it to vegetable plots.
