That's it; thanks. However, I'm sure there was another name for it,
but that isn't important.

that's it - dumplings & cocky's joy, but the same as the recipe given
above. Any idea about why they gave it that strange name?

A 'cocky' is slang for a farmer - perhaps out in the bush in the old
days that was all the sweetening they had, as sugar was difficult to
store where ants wouldn't get it.

I think it's the national dish of Australia - a type of biscuity/
flapjacky thing with a topping

and then in desiccated coconut. Named, I think, after Lord Lamington
who was governor of one of the states, I forget which. I'm not very
fond of them but they are very popular.

with the new coffee lady. The following day, she brought lamingtons for all
of them. They hungrily bit into them - discovering that they were made
from foam rubber coated with choc and coconut! They treated her with
respect after that{:-)

I arrived there in November and this particular tea-lady asked me if I was
looking forward to xmas. I said that the weather didn't seem right
(temperatures >30C). She replied: "Oh, I always start getting the xmas
spirit when the daytime temperature starts going up!"

turkey and salad! There was always a chance that a land breeze would blow
at xmas and take the temp up to and above 100F so all the cooking was done
the day before. Son #1 was born just before xmas and he and his mum were in
hospital on xmas day (10 days in hospital after a normal birth - I bet that
doesn't happen nowadays). After visiting on xmas morning, my in-laws
insisted on going to the beach for a swim!
By contrast, arctic air is pushing its way down here tonight. I know which
climate I prefer!

i think in the uk it is still normal practise to stay in hospital for
a week or ten days after the first birth.

at the age of 41 for the first time was kept in for two nights and then OUT.
The woman in the bed next to her, having had her fourth child, was sent home
in 6 hours.
