We were shopping in Kyogle this morning, buying our fruit and veges, chatting with Esther who sells all kinds of delicious things like chocolate fudge cake, samosas, little mascarpone tarts with blueberries and grated chocolate, buying the newspapers and what not. It's a nice little town, possibly still a bit red-necky in places and quite kooky from a retail point of view. 'How so?' I hear you ask. Well the Balinese curio shop (and indeed you may be asking why there would be a Balinese curio shop in Kyogle at all) doubles as the tobacconist and also sells home brew supplies; you buy your lottery and lotto tickets not from the newsagency but from the hardware store, which also does a nice line in children's apparel; and any problems with water pumps means you need to see the Holden dealership. Kooky.
