A Birthday to Remember
It was my husbands birthday recently and as a special treat I booked us into "Flames of the Forest" for a six course degustation menu comprising of Kangaroo, Crocodile, Prawns, Barramundi, Grass Fed Beef and to top it off, Black Sapote Sticky Date Pudding. Champagne on arrival and matching wines are included in the price. "Flames" is right in the middle of the rainforest under a black silk canopy with huge crystal chandeliers and candles on every table. No carpet on the floor here, just the simple dirt floors. At one stage through the night a little bandicoot ran between the tables much to the delight of the american tourists! The surrounding rainforest trees are lit by spotlight and it is an extraordinary beautiful setting. We were picked up by bus from Port Douglas (no self drive) at 7.15 pm and were returned to our car at 10.30pm. The bus trip takes about ten minutes. Flames of the Forest is an Aboriginal Cultural experience and we were entertained by a young man playing the Didgeridoo. I love the hauntingly beautiful sound of this instrument. It was a wonderfully romantic night that we will never forget.

Well here's a friendly face, (even though i can't see You!) So glad you found me in Blogland Judi, great to hear from you! Sounds like you had a wonderful night out at Flames in the forest. i have only ever been to a day time fuction there and that was nice too! You make me homesick, but we are doing fine. I am thrashing the town with my Kaszazz flyers and spreading the word. I have met some lovely fellow Kaszazz Consultants, who I have had a few scrap days with, that's been great. Kids are in their new school, jack is taking a bit of time to settle, doesn't want to leave his Mummy in the morning. Darwin is quite a nice place, but it's not home:( I love getting messages from home so keep them coming and thank you x
