Re: Reasons not to go to Australia, part 24753
I BBQ fish. Pretty much weekly do big salmon fillets on the BBQ even through winter. On a flat plate, not a grill. Easier to clean up than in the kitchen. Same with steaks & skewers.

Ahh...you beat me to it. I did have BBQ salmon once & couldn't believe how good it was. Some of the best fish I've ever had. I'd forgotten about that. Think it was wrapped in butter or something.

When you catch a 100 kg mako shark, but that’s just the head because something bigger ate the rest of it

That picture in the article is about 35 km from me in a straight line. Snow was down to 900m, I’m at 550m. Was zero overnight last night at mine and high today was 10 deg, but with wind chill felt like 3-4 deg. It is rather cold atm.

Re: Reasons not to go to Australia, part 24753
We had a late burst of heat a couple weeks back, mid 20’s and lows of 15-18 over night. Then this southerly icy front hit, so it feels quite offensive!!Kwacky wrote:and in true British style, as we head towards summer, it's windy, cold, dark and raining
