But, on researching 'things to do in Canberra', I came across a double page spread bragging about 'wood-fired pizza' ... imagine that !? drool, drool ... not just one pizza place, but how many ?? But pizza will have to wait a bit.
We decided to go birdwatching at the Jerrabomberra Wetlands, located very near to us. This is the top birding site, according to our birdwatching guide, but you have to remember that we live in one of the top birdwatching locations, so tone it down a bit. After lots of hard work, we recorded 31 species, no particular stand-out bird, but nice to see a Red-kneed Dotterel. On reading about the wetlands, someone commented about a White-faced Heron performing a showy circling flight around one of the bird hides. It must be his favourite 'trick' because he did it for us too. To be fair, it really is a great spot, with five bird hides dotted around the wetlands. Sadly, the wetlands were a bit dry, but 'the autumn rains will top it up'. (Not just yet I hoped.) Then it was lunch time .. drool, drool. We happened to choose the 'poshest' place, linen napkins placed over your lap, no bottle of wine under $30 and $10 per glass, so the water (not sparkling) was lovely. But the pizza, OMG, crunchy base and delicious topping .. a simple prosciutto, rosemary and potato, fulfilled my wood-fired pizza dream. Come to think of it, a glass of wine would have spoiled and washed away the distinctive flavours. Afterall, I was there for the pizza.
