Last weekend we went to the last of the infamous Mundingburra goat parties. A couple of years ago these guys had a load of friends round for a party and roasted a goat. Next time round it was a pig, then a cow… you get the picture. This time round there were 300 people (not roasted, obviously) a goat, a pig, a couple of roos and rumours of a crocodile, although I never saw one. There was a DJ and people spinning fire pois in the garden, a band playing upstairs, some curiously alcoholic punch and lots of beer. These guys know how to throw a party!
S woke up in the morning to see a half-roasted roo floating around the pool on an inflatable lilo. That’s when you know it’s time to go home.
Sunday was mostly spent sleeping, eating and floating in the sea.
