I ate this meal at the end of 5 days of bushwalking AKA backpacking.

The chips and “butter fish” are accompanied by a wedge of lemon, some tartare sauce and a sprinkling of chicken salt. Also a deep fried dim sim, a calamari ring, and a battered scallop.

Including a drink (ginger beer?), it cost AUD$16.80.

that looks crazy good, especially after 5 days of backpacking.

were you backpacking in rural areas around your home or did you go a national park or something?

I used to backpack a lot, but never got around to it while I was in Australia.

It’s the first part of a 1200km route called the Heysen Trail. Here’s the website.

oh wow, thanks, this is my first hearing about it.

I appreciate the heads up, I'm checking out the website now.

If you want to disappear down a rabbit hole, search for “Goin’ Feral” on Youtube.

yeah, looks interesting for sure.

I really enjoy backpacking and walking and I'm interested in seeing the Australian outback through the eyes of a walker.

actually, I think the second to the last podcast I put out was about walking specifically as a wonderful mode of travel.

thanks for the recommendation.

You're on the Heysen Trail? I'm so jealous.

I could only do that section, unfortunately. It’s definitely on the list to go north and walk the Flinders Ranges part, though.
