Welcome to the fist of my round Australia regular features. I am going to detail the most important features of a trip like this, which obviously are the best Pie, Pint of Craft Beer and the best Ablution Block we encounter on our travels. The leaders so far are:
Pie
A Steak Pizza pie from the Red Bluff Bakery Cafe at Kalbarri. Pie traditionalists may not allow this but it is my blog and it was gorgeous so it is in. A square pie crust of nice light pastry filled with chunky steak in tasty gravy topped with peppers and onions and toasted cheese. Delicious. This will take some beating.
Crafty Pint
Storming into the lead by 2 lengths at least is the You’re Dviving IPA from the Froth Micro Brewery in Exmouth. Gread body nice malty upfront taste with citrusy notes and a lovely bitter finish.
ABV 6.2%
IBU 54
Hopheads unite!! You’re Driving IPA is an extremely hop forward ale that packs a punch. If you plan on having more than one, you’ll have to say to your mate…“You’re driving!” Loaded with Columbus, Chinook, Centennial, Cascade, and Simcoe hops during the brewing process then dry hopped with them all again! This IPA has a huge resinous hop profile where essence of grapefruit and pine cement its roots as a new age India Pale Ale
Ablution Block
The leader by a country mile so far Outback Oasis Caravan Park in Carnarvon, ablutions fit for a hotel room, in fact I have stayed in hotels with much worse ablutions than this. May try to sneak a pic or two if I can manage it without getting arrested or lynched.
I will update regularly. If anybody out there has any suggestions on our route, which is roughly north then east with a bit of south in the middle, please comment below.
