On our second-to-the-last day in Brisbane, we decided to get out of dodge.
We hopped on the train and headed south to the Gold Coast, out to where the locals hung. We met up with a friend (and native), Kay Russell, who took us on the insider’s tour of the area. We definitely learned a lot! (That’s another blog!)
And when we got back to Brisbane, we headed straight to another local spot, Tukka Restaurant, to sample some native berries, nuts and meats, including kangaroo. (OK, I didn’t actually eat the kangaroo. I just couldn’t. Not after I hand-fed some of its relatives!)
This was exactly what we had wanted to do — see the local hangouts and taste the unique offerings of Australia.
It was an adventurous day for us, and we lived to blog about it!
Tukka
In addition to the native meats sampler platter, the restaurant serves meals, too, for those game to try the real deal. Here's the possum rillette wrapped in quail and served with a picked choko salad. The possum tasted a lot like duck to me.

Hello Cat!
Very nice beaches.
CAT: Great Fuud Pix! Tenks! BTW were any of the nuts macadamia?
I knew, when I saw that you posted 43 pictures, that there would be food in there. There is food, and more food. It all looks incredible, but I had to pause at the possum wrapped in quail. Keep travelin’ Cat. I can live throuth your blog and camera lens.
