Where shall we go for lunch? Abundance cafe

 

We had to go to Wauchope.....long story!
And decided we needed to make a bigger trip of it and have lunch somewhere.
A bit of on-line research led us to the Abundance Cafe at Sancrox with its attached garden centre, or the other way round.

This is a particularly attractive spot for us as it has lots of interesting sounding vegetarian options and is reasonably priced.

We have been here before but only for morning tea and remembered that it is in a lovely setting overlooking the duck and turtle filled dam.

We also remembered how rich and filling their homemade desserts are!

We ate: Lemon myrtle and potato gnocchi with confit garlic, sauteed cauliflower, Jarlsberg crisps, parmesan custard and lemon myrtle syrup.

And: Wild mushroom pivithier, creamy truffled polenta, asparagus, pomegranate seeds and a ginger and lemon grass caramel.

We also managed to fit in a share of hazelnut and caramel cheesecake.
Oh, and they have good coffee.

 

We also bought something else! For the garden.
But I haven't taken a photo of it yet.

Abundance cafe is between Port Macquarie and Wauchope. To get there turn off the Pacific Highway near Cassegrain winery, to Sancrox and follow the signs.

 

Plans

Plans! We have plans!
Last year we bought this 20 acre block of land in between Kempsey and Crescent Head on the Mid North Coast of NSW.

It has had the understory cut to reveal the lovely trees (this is called parklanding!)
See - it does look a bit like a park.

An area has also been levelled by the previous owners ready to build.

There is a dam....and next-doors dog, Tugger!

One day we will build a little house here, but in the meantime we can camp here and pop over to the beach at Crescent Head.
