The hills are alive with the sound of music yes, but also whip-cracking, boot-throwing, sheep-shearing and plenty more. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s show season! November may not be the time of year most people associate with a trip to Byron Bay and the stunning Byron Hinterland, but here’s a word…

For about ten or twelves years now, I’ve been using a recipe from a cooking magazine to make the annual Christmas pudding. It’s a Valli Little recipe, and I suspect I’d pulled it out of an edition of Delicious, something I’ve subscribed to for years. The recipe is a tropical…
