My nephew got married recently, down in Sth Aus. i couldn't make it to
the wedding.
My sister sent me pictures of the reception, just to taunt me :-/

My nephew works at a winery (Maclaren Vale IIRC) for most of the year,
and then does time on a cray boat off Kangaroo island.

The entree was a *whole* cray with about 10 *huge* prawns beside it :-/
