2½ teaspoons baking powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon salsa verde 1 egg


¼ teaspoon vanilla 2 cups milk 1 tablespoon unsalted butter - melted In a large bowl, combine


first four ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients, slowly adding the butter last. Gently stir liquid mixture into dry mixture. Heat a nonstick skillet and pour ¼ cup of batter for each pancake. When bubbles appear, carefully flip pancake (they have less structure than wheat pancakes) and cook until golden.


Studying the road map I wondered


if the long, winding Mary River that paralleled the Old Gympie Road and railway line might prove interesting. As we crossed the rickety 1886 Dickabram rail and vehicle bridge, we spotted a mix of campervans on the far high bank. The campers all waved shouting for us to stop which we did. We’d stumbled upon friendly Australian country music aficionados – retired and travelling about the countryside attending music festivals including one in the nearby village hall, although they were camping here to avoid the 500 plus campervan attendees. They’d mastered cooking on the free electric bbq’s that grace many Australian campsites and in between flipping items they all promptly played guitars and sang whilst welcoming additional passer bys.


We’d planned to visit as far as


Bundaberg but when time ran out we delighted in an impromptu stop at Maryborough at the mouth of the Mary River. Settled in 1847, Maryborough quickly became a thriving port with the arrival of many of Australia’s free settlers along with Melanesian slave labor for the sugar plantations. Today it’s a treat to wander about the historical buildings that are also home to Mary Poppins of ‘Supercalifragilistic’ fame. A final highlight was reuniting with


Neisha Collins (December Galley 2010) and her family at Peregian Beach south of Noosa. They’ve sold their cruising yacht, Grace, and are enjoying shore life


⅓ cup butter ¾ cup sweetened condensed milk 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1¾ cups confectioners sugar Grease a 9x9 pan and line


Egg rings and a Teflon mat prove essential for an Aussie breakfast on an electric BBQ. As to the beer…..“Good on ya mate!”


although they’re so close to awesome surf they catch the waves every morning before school. To honor our visit, Neisha sweetly surprised us with this scrumptious lemon slice which kept us in good spirits all the way home.


Niesha’s No-Bake Lemon Slice 8 oz vanilla wafers


1 cup desiccated coconut - plus extra


with baking paper. Finely crush wafers using blender and combine with coconut. In a saucepan over medium heat combine butter and condensed milk until smooth.

INSTALL 5hp – 2000hp


Business or Pleasure, AquaDrive will make your boat smoother, quieter and vibration free.


The AquaDrive system solves a


problem nearly a century old; the fact that marine engines are installed on soft engine mounts and attached almost rigidly to the propeller shaft. The very logic of AquaDrive is inescapable. An engine that is vibrating


on soft mounts needs total freedom of movement from its propshaft if noise and vibration are not to be transmitted to the hull. The AquaDrive provides just this freedom of movement. Tests proved that the AquaDrive with its softer engine mountings can reduce vibration by 95% and structure borne noise by 50% or more. For information, call Drivelines NW today.
