Day 7 & 8 - Project Barbie

BBQ Day one - the purchase

With the workmen almost finished on the outside area of Hotel Anscombe, it was time for the most important purchase of all........the Barbie.  Luckily corporate Australia has recognised this and provided the suitably named "Barbecues Galore" to cater for all things barbie.

A vast selection was narrowed down to a couple of options, but as any hardened shopper knows a shopping trip always requires a price/model comparison, so it was off next door to Bunnings, the Aussie equivalent to B&Q.

Meanwhile the girls relaxed and tested out the comfort provided by the Aussie seating solutions

Unfortunately the options provided at Bunnings were not suitable, but all was not in vain as a Frangipani plant was selected....

So it was back to Barbecues Galore to do the deal, and a Discoverer 5 burner with accompanying Gas and tools was procured.

Next stop Coles (supermarket) to stock up with supplies for the inaugural Barbie.

A quick Barbie update on Skype was provided back to the UK as progress was being closely monitored.

BBQ Day two - the big build
