The Best Part of My Day: Coffee.

On the Saturday morning at Undara, Andrew (Resort Manager at Undara Experience) invited me over for “Bush Brekkie.” Of the meal options available at Undara, “Bush Brekkie” is the best value for your money. For $22, you get fresh coffee and / or tea brewed over a campfire, bread that you toast yourself bush-style over another campfire, all the usual cereals, juices etc, and the real breakfast goods including a veggie bush stew, bacon, eggs, sausages and baked beans. It’s buffet style, so come hungry and leave happy.

If the breakfast just included the food, I don’t think it’d be worth the price. What you’re paying for is having the breakfast outdoors on wooden log chairs, making your toast and coffee using things like a “donkey” water heater, and watching the magpies and kookaburras snatch slices of bacon off a fellow tourist’s plate when he’s not looking. I’ve never seen kookaburras so fearless of humans.

As far as I know, this is the only tourist attraction in Queensland that offers a real bush breakfast made outdoors and over campfires. I really enjoyed the smell of the campfires and coffee in the morning, as well as the novelty of toasting your own bread using metal thingamajigs.
