The age of things still gets me. ugh yeah. My mum's cooking was generally stodgy food. Meat and veg cooked way too long and it's not surprising that when I took over cooking I cooked stirfries and sushi and salads.
When we lived in the Hunter Valley/Newcastle we got both colours of swan (and massive pelicans). I don't think we got mute swans though. Haven't seen either colour of swan out here (about 8 hours drive inland from Sydney) but then it's not often wet enough and we don't live near any permanent sources of water. Lots of wedge-tailed eagles and hawkes and many, many parrots of various kinds but not many water birds
