We'd love to live permanently in a cheese cave, because cheese, in all its salty, fatty majesty, could well be the king of foods. We have all at some point found ourselves standing in front of a dimly lit fromage room with its bewildering array of European, American (mostly Vermont and Wisconsin) and local cheese, […]
Cheese is one of the great pleasures of life and should be mixed with one of the other great pleasures of life, wine, as often as possible. We know that there are plenty of people (serious wine lovers among them) who feel that thinking too hard about wine and food matching is a level of […]
Once a quarter, on a Sunday, our beloved volunteers and donors come together to plant all the donated and sponsored trees in the Naturaliste Habitat Corridor. They also help with ongoing efforts to ensure its functionality, including controlling weeds and feral animals, maintaining fences and restoration of degraded areas. They are the vital link in […]
That primal screaming you hear across Geographe Bay from time-to-time, manifests from a charcuterie purist seeing grazing boards - a crazed extravaganza of sauces, dips, dried fruits, olives, sugared almonds, chocolates, meats and maybe even a Lego set - being described as charcuterie boards. There is terrible faux-artisan charcuterie out there, an unedifying jumbled chaos […]

Few things are more beautiful than spring blossom and the cherry tree walk means having the pleasure of witnessing the blossoms every spring. Just before spring, gnarled trees, barren and ignored for most of the year, burst into bloom like fountains turned suddenly on. The cherry blossoms hit like a hurricane, cherry plums already broken […]
Racing exposes horses to significant risk of injury, sometimes catastrophic injury, and death through trauma or emergency euthanasia.
