Sunshine Breakfast

Our Australian road trip has now reached the area known as the Sunshine Coast, just over an hour’s drive north of Brisbane.

The name is very apt, there being no shortage of beautiful bays with near-deserted golden sandy beaches and, of course, plenty of surf and warm sunshine. Here’s Alexandria Bay viewed from the coastal headland in Noosa National Park.

The sunshine does wonders for the abundance of fresh fruit growing here. As you can see from my main photo at the top of the post, I just had to put together a fresh fruit salad, with juicy mango, golden kiwi, red grapes, red plums, blueberries, raspberries, apple and banana – all local Queensland produce.

It has helped make what I call my Sunshine Breakfast, shown here over toasted Australian-grown oats and grains, and with thick, creamy Australian yoghurt. The crowning touch is a drizzle of honey from a jar I bought in the Blue Mountains. It is made from beehives in the eucalyptus forests there.

A bowl full of all-Australian Sunshine Breakfast. What a super way to start any day!

From one all-Australian classic to another, with the latest addition to the ADK playlist: this is Icehouse with Hey Little Girl.
