Palm Beach

So it is long weekend and the weather is bad. I took the chance to take a small road trip up to Palm Beach. This is the strip where Home & Away is filmed, with the famous lighthouse in the background. Now this is not Bondi, so you are limited in what you can do food-wise, but it is very nice to look at. The clouds enhance the texture of the sky, which is different from the blue sky pictures you will find online.

 Had the day have been better I would have taken the trail up to the lighthouse. I have done this many years ago, and will keep it on my list to do again. Brave folk were swimming and surfing. I found a coffee and took in the view.

The Rocks Brewing Company

The latest fad in Sydney is boutique beer. Having outgrown their brewery in the Rocks, the Rocks Brewing Company opened its new brewery in downtown Alexandria. This has allowed them the space they need to produce their high quality beer. Now most of you know I am not a huge beer drinker, but the range and subtle flavours mixed in make me drool.

It the lure of beer is not enough then i should make a note of their food. Cheap pub food this is not! They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.  The steak I ate for dinner was cooked to perfection and served with wedges. I have also had a great lunch here, where the beef roll melted in my mouth.

The only negative is that it is a little too far for me to walk home, so I normally drive. I stick to the limit and order a take home back of beer and let the party continue at home.
