09/14/26 - Winter's Hollow in Denmark

We have been repeatedly warned against driving in rural Australia after dark on account of the high risk of hitting a kangaroo or other marsupial. We've taken this to heart, but in the winter it limits our dinner dining options. As it turns out, the restaurant Winter's Hollow, formerly Flame Trees, starts serving dinner at 4PM which meant we could get home well before sunset. We had been living on Massimo's wonderful pizza, but were in the mood for a proper sit down dinner, so we gave it a try.

It's right in town in a little courtyard, and it's a beautiful place inside. We had the Ruby's Roo Ragu, kangaroo braised in red wine with mashed potatoes. It was a favorite on the review sites and worth all the praise. We also had the excellent fresh sardines with fettucini and the wonderful flatfish pie with potatoes and onions and a cheese covered crust. There was a great wine list as one might expect in a wine producing region.

We had a wonderful meal and even made it back to our cottage well before dark.
