    Sundaybrunch

    It's been weeks since I whipped up a Sunday brunch. What was a weekly staple in the UK has faded to a distant memory. Lazy or busy I guess.

    Finally got my act together today, with chorizo, bacon, mushroom, tomatoes, caramelised red onion, spinach and cheesy eggs on soy & linseed bread.

    Martini

    Rich, bitter-sweet and complex, mix Martini Rosso with orange juice on the rocks, garnish with a slice of orange

    "The World's Most Beautiful Drink.." they claim. It's certainly tasty

    Back from the reef and catching up with my lady at Salt House. Sunday evening cocktails here turning into a regular thang.

    Couple of corkers here, the tequila based tall boy Eduardo Moralez (named after a previous Salt House chef, not a Mexican revolutionary hero) and the Twister Sister, an Amarillo powered orange monster.

    Needless to say, this kicked off our Sunday evening perfectly.

    Cocktails for two, $14.50 each

    Salt House, 6/2 Pier Point Road, Marina Point, Cairns QLD 4870

    Reefmagic
    My inaugural dive with the Nautilus Scuba Club (www.nautilus-scuba.net), out of Cairns with Reef Magic to their Marine World pontoon.

    The diving was a mix of brilliant and shambolic, but that's a story for another day. 

    Dedicated dive club member Judith assured me this is the best lunch on the GBR, and it certainly didn't disappoint, with a tantalising smorgasbord of hot and cold options, from delicious prawns to veggie lasagna, beetroots bursting with goodness and a fantastic fruit salad.

    To top it all off a humpback whale breached less than 100m away just as I was finishing dessert! 

    $180 including snorkeling, submersible tours and fish feeding.
