Hello welcome to my Blog

Mezze is widely served in the Greek and Middle eastern world. An assortment of little dishes and tasters which accompany a nice ouzo or a glass of wine. So when you read mezze moments you will have tasty snippets of life as I live it, India for four years and now Brisbane Australia, all served up with some Greek fervour and passion.

The valleys below and the skies above

 The area of the Glasshouse Mountains was probably once quite forested. Matthew Flinders climbed  Beerburrum in 1798 and was the first European to do so. He surveyed the valleys below. 

There are vast cleared areas now full of the most productive plantations - macadamia trees, passion fruit and pineapple, coffee and vegetables as well. 

The Massive Macadamia trees 
Coffee bushes 
Dragon fruit plantations 

Best of all was being at the top of Beerburrum and seeing this flock of yellow tailed black cockatoos.
