Sweet secrets of a sugar cane factory
When I was a kid I had a book called “Tiger’s Milk”. Can’t recall what the junior novel was about but I do recall that Tiger’s Milk was the name for molasses and milk that the young hero in the book craved. Somewhere along the way, I had the chance to try Tiger’s Milk for myself.

1770 – Cap’n Cook was here and so were we

A little eco-luxury with our view please

Off and travelling with BoundRound
There’s no fanfare, tickertape parade or marching girls as we drive out of Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula on the start of our adventures. Instead there’s howling winds, hail and bitter cold as we wrestle the last of our furniture into storage and send victorious text messages to friends! Continue Reading →
