The week leading up to Beef Australia 2015, was a fairly hectic one. With the inevitable water troubles and rain which hindered our banding efforts (although we weren't complaining).
The change in weather brought some lovely rain (which I had predicted with my black cockatoos and horse tail clouds I might add). This meant that the calves we had pulled off to brand, had to wait until the morning so they could dry off.

| I dunno why but I like this one! |
 |
| My favourite time off day! I love the colours! |
With the little bit of moisture, it was our last opportunity to burn this log heap we had been saving, and enough of an excuse to have a few nibbles and beer for a belated wedding anniversary celebration (2yrs).
 |
| Love these passionfruit flower blossoms. |
 |
| My bacon and cheese scones! |
 |
| Rabbit and Justin looking at funny stuff on his phone! |
 |
| Celebrating ANZAC day and it was lovely to have a phone call from dad all the way over in ANZAC cove. |
BEEF WEEK 2015
 |
| Mum in her pretty new beads from her birthday. |
Nose to tail carcass dinner.... sorry i haven't photos of all 5 courses, but it was lovely just the same.
My only problem with the night was that, the point of the evening, had been to showcase cuts of beef that people do not normally eat. They demonstrated how these cuts came off the beast, which perhaps 25% of the audience would relate too. But they did not mention how any of the meals were prepared. So for me it was a bit of a let down in this regard. If you want people to use these cuts, then they need to know how to use them! Perhaps next time I will join the committee lol.... not!

| International Chef Restaurant, which was a beautiful four course meal. Lovely to spend time with family and meet new people, |
 |
| Eric with Ben O'Donoghue, the Aussie chef. |
Hat and Heels Cocktail Party.
 |
| Myself with nomes and Mango |
Apart from the severe lack of ladies toilets, (I'm not going to tell you the lengths that were resorted to by some), and the difficulty of spirit drinkers, to get drinks from the bar; it was a lovely night.
 |
| Erin, Jamie and I |
 |
| Erin is not a fan of the bulls lol! |
 |
| Choco, feeling exactly like I do now that Beef is all over. |
 |
| Rabbit also expressing my sentiments. |
Oh well, all over for another 3 years!
