A good time was had by all at the pre-Christmas lunch at the steakhouse.
Phil and Sandra managed to get lost on the way - a few times but in fairness Sydney is not the easiest place to find your way around.
Gi-Frog took on the Outback Jack Challenge which involves eating 1kg of steak, plus the equivalent to a plate of veggies and about another 1kg of Wedges. It's all served on a massive platter that spread across the table. They require it to all be eaten within 30 minutes, and for that you get a t-shirt and something else as a prize. Alas, gi-frog was not able to complete the challenge - he got through the meat and veggies but the greasy wedges stopped him. It was a massive effort non-the-less and was obvious from the sweat pouring off of him towards the end. No ambulance was required.
I presented gi-frog with a shiny new rubber mallet to replace the one that he gave to me coming out of West Kunderang to fix my broken spring (his mallet was destroyed by the time we rolled into Armidale to replace the spring). I still have to get a roll of wire back to Pipes are well.
Here's hoping everyone has a safe and Happy New Year.
