Following is my list of every food blog in Australia, at least, every one that I have come across.

Spring blogging doldrums
Spring scared the hell out of me this year. It is so much more radiant and incredible after living in the tropics for a while. Trees aren’t supposed to change colour and regrow. In the tropics, most trees that look as if they are dead are in fact dead with invariable certainty. I’m blaming this… Continue reading Spring blogging doldrums

It’s my 1004th day of food blogging… Continue reading Last Appetite turns one.
Fremantle microbreweries
In 1871, the Australian state of Victoria contained 126 breweries. By 1987, there was effectively one. For all the new micro-brewed beer that has lubricated the gullets of Australians in the subsequent twenty years from 1987, at present two breweries control 90% of the Australian beer market.

Little Creatures Brewery, Fremantle
Had I forgotten something from the menu at Little Creatures Dining Hall in Fitzroy? Had I made an unfair comparison to its Western Australian brewery progenitor? In the interests of factual accuracy, I flew across the country to Perth to find out.
