a reflection on the Kirribilli Wharf Cafe

If I were there now, I would not be at  the KWC because it would be closed, but if it was as now here, there, I would be because it would be time for a bacon and egg roll and a Loughy strength cappuccino.

At the Kirribilli Warf Cafe, life goes by, there is laughter, debate and from time to time the hostess, the wonderful Margaret is given to the odd over the top remark. It is OK if she likes you but if you are a Pom, American or generally European you need to come equipped with a range of dynamic coping techniques to adapt to the prevailing mood of the day.

I love the regulars, always good discussion, information, and friendship. An amazing place, excellent food and coffee,  a challenge to the authorities, it is a true community cafe, an essential local resource. A recommendation to anyone, who is prepared for the unusual.

I can't understand why the Governor General and Prime MInister who are after all locals have not popped in. If they want to go somewhere where they will not be noticed it is certainly the KWC!
