Last Saturday i had a lovely dinner on the the old railway bridge across the Katherine river. It was organised by the Beef and Burgundy club and attended by 23 ladies. The club holds dinners like this in different spots around town and this was the first one that i had been to. As you can see by the photo, they go to a lot of trouble and it was lovely.
This is my wine glass covered by a handmade doily to keep the bat shit and insects out, perfect.
The evening started with what looked like beef satays but turned out to be Camel meat, that was a first for me so i can tick that off now. The river was lovely in the fading light.
The bats took off on their regular night run up the river in search of food and it's always an amazing sight when standing on the bridge.
We had a full moon which also added to the atmosphere. For main meal we had more Camel and Barramundi with vegi's or salad and desert was a mixture of chocolate and mousse. We had a type of jam made from native Hibiscus and Rosella's, very bush tucker and delicious, cooked by Dragonfly Catering. The weather was very hot and humid until around 9pm when we got a lovely breeze, but despite the weather everyone dressed up and the combination of good food , great wine excellent company and perfect location, made for a memorable evening.
