Great pics mate, the power of mother nature.

I was up at Liena a few days ago to check the area out since they built the new bridge there after losing the old wooden bridge back in 2016..
Took a couple of photos to compare it to what is it was before the June 2016 floods.. certainly has changed and not for the better either.. will take many years to come back I feel.. though the small shrubs will come back fairly quick.. I'm really glad I take my camera with me on every trip to a river, good to look back on many areas on this river to what they were and what they are today.. plus I have photos of all the original old wood bridges that were on the Mersey before being washed away,, they're all gone and are all new concrete bridges....
cheers

Looks very nice there Panga, might give it a go as I got given some oysters  .

He got Jack. But he did get steak (sirloin)

Felt like a change tonight after turkey patties (deep fried) So had some oysters I thought I would do a bit of "infusion" So started with sucked oysters, but placed 2 in one shell.  then added some sambul chilli and some minced garlic topped with lime and salt AND caster sugar and lime with Parmesan cheese. Placed under the griller (watching all the time) pulled out and enjoyed a really nice way of oysters with attitude.
 






 
Really pigged out tonight and now desert ??
 

Joy come to the shack to help do the maintenance thing. So I asked her to call into Samtass for a pan size snapper (from Victoria) and 2 tubs of seaweed.
 
So Friday night I cooked some sushi rice and sliced up the salmon and prosciutto and seaweed ( ) Along with some Sak'e.  
 

 
Tonight I cooked the snapper with ginger, spring onions, and Japanese Soya wrapped in banana leaves and cooked it in the Weber Q. 
Then served up with broccoli, asparagus, rice and seaweed. Wow I was even impressed  and so was Joy.
 

 
Tomorrow will be salted grilled salmon and sesame beans. 
 
The song "Turning Japanesa" has be going through my head all day, could this mean something ?
