Yes, Helena is a GP and they’ve been down there for quite a few years now.
Claire moved there when they returned from Canada last year. She hasn’t
worked (lawyer) since they first moved to Dubai, maybe 8 years ago now.

Are your sisters now in Canberra? How are they both? Both have been so
successful in their careers.

Hi Justin,
It might be worth a small detour for lunch on your way down to Canberra next
time you visit. 🙂

Hi all,
It was my birthday yesterday (Sunday), and we donned our masks and gritted
our teeth to face the madding crowds at Grazing at Gundaroo, our first such
outing since early August last year. (For non-Canberra people, Gundaroo is a
teeny country town about half an hour from civilisation. No madding crowds to
see there, though even at our late booking time of 2:30 pm the restaurant was
packed!)
It was SO SO GOOD. A lovely drive, a pretty, historic town, and the
restaurant itself was in a historic building. The tables were spaced well
apart, the service was excellent, and the food sublime. I was in raptures for
the most part! The pâté was particularly amazing, as was the breast of lamb
which had an eat-with-your-spoon kind of texture. Yummmmm. Dohn's hangar
steak was SO tender, and just burst with beautiful, fresh flavours. The only
thing I felt that could have been improved was the pork belly. Admittedly the
menu didn't say it would be crispy but I kind of expected it, and the top
layer of fat wasn't rendered down as much as I would have liked. Even so, the
flavours were fabulous and I was really happy with everything.
Vicki. :-)
