Silverton Cafe

some of us called into the cafe for a speciality Quandong ice-cream; very nice!  The vanilla ice-cream had segments of quandong fruit, tasting a little tart-ish I guess.  This Australian native, bush-tucker fruit has a large seed.

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
