Schnitzel lunch at Wynyard Station - The Occidental Hotel, Sydney

I rolled up for lunch to an old favourite, The Occidental Hotel or as the locals call it, 'The Oxy'. I needed a quick feed for lunch and the menu, although not extensive, was very cheap and what would normally be expected from an establishment with a front bar, colourful patterned carpet, and tiles up the walls.

This is the menu as seen on the street and on the table:

And the meal. Whilst it wasn't he best I have ever had, the meal was pretty hearty and for $12 I couldn't complain. Also the beer was very cheap so for under $20 I got a quick fix and I was on my way. Until next time Oxy!

The Addictive Pie Shop, North Haven, NSW

I was on a road trip back from Port Macquarie a couple of weeks ago and I needed a quick fix. I landed up at 'The Addictive Pie Shop' at North Haven. I did take some pics and I want to tell you about it. The pies have always been a favourite of mine. People on the North Coast rave on about freddo's pies... and local pie shops.... that are very good, but this is a staple that almost deserves a special trip.

I had the pepper steak. I have some photos. Enjoy.
