Deeply moving ceremonies and some amazing scenery along the Coorong I hadn't seen in years (and the missus had never seen before). Stir Fried cockles (why is everyone calling them Pipis now?) cooked on the boat with a bit of chilli, garlic, etc went down a treat too (as did a couple of white wines as the choice of beer was ordinary). So much wildlife down there at the moment, its incredible, a truly unique part of the world.
An ABC cameraman tagged along so hopefully some footage on the way.
Tell ya what though, my legs are feeling it tonight hiking over those sand dunes, I doubt I'll be able to walk tomorrow, struggling now!

Eastern states influencers calling them Pipis, to suit their market,
on Sunrise yesterday morning they were in NZ & called them clams!

They're bloody cockles!
I go to the bait shop & get a bag of cockles,
you don't go pipi'ing, you go cockling!

And yes, they taste fantastic!

Technically they are a clam. Ngarrindjeri people call them kuti.

Fantastic BUT I'll always know them as a cockle,
the same as a crayfish, never used to be called a lobster, it's a bloody cray.

You caught it in salt water and it has no claws… It is a rock lobster

Freshwater with claws is a Marron isn’t it?

100% the best.

My 5 year old will often get up at all hours of the morning to watch West Ham games with me.... yeah i know we shouldnt be giving her broken sleep etc, normally she sleeps in on the Sunday to make up for getting up in the middle which keeps the misses happy.

The bond we build over the games though is something special, especially given all her family on my side are still based on east london we often spend the match talking about family over there etc.
