| The Ultimate All-Australian Travelling Cafe sets up at Dales Gorge Campground, Karijini National Park, Western Australia |
It doesn't matter where we are.
 |
| Cool Waters Caravan Park, Cairns, Far North Queensland |
Or how far we've travelled.
Or how hot it is.
Or cold.
Or what time of day.
Whether it's time for a snack, a meal,
a nightcap, morning tea or midnight feast.
We
can always drop in to Red & Pilchard's Ultimate All-Australian
Travelling Café.
Because
it's ALWAYS open.
For us ...
... and serves up food just the way we like
it!
With fresh, local ingredients.
Like food from our favourite bakeries.
Or fast food.
Or even good, old fashioned home-cooked
meals.
But Red & Pilchard's Ultimate
All-Australian Travelling Café
isn't open to just ANYONE! Its exclusive membership deals are just
for two.
 |
| The Café has a visitor, Wyndham Caravan Park, Western Australia |
Usually.
BUT
… there's an occasional dispensation for a special guest, or a
mate.

| Lake Pamamaroo, Menindee Lakes, New South Wales |
But the best thing about Red & Pilchard's Ultimate All-Australian Travelling Café?
Against a fascinating and ever-changing
backdrop – tropical, desert, coastal, inland, rocky, sandy, scrub,
bushland, beach, mallee, lakes, rivers – the Café
provides an oasis of stability.
 |
| Breakfast is served, Ormiston Gorge Campground, Central Australia, Northern Territory |
Because no matter how dramatic the
changes to scenery, weather or company, the Red
& Pilchard's Ultimate All-Australian Travelling Café
Chairs have remained the same for nearly a decade.
So whatever adventures we're having on
the road, we come home to Red & Pilchard's Ultimate
All-Australian Travelling Café.

You have THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteThis would be the cafe and the chairs I would choose from all the world, if I could.
Enjoy it!
What a great take on the theme. Chairs by a caravan .. the perfect cafe.
ReplyDeleteI confess to be a bit of a coffee snob and travel with my Italian moka coffee pot, so I totally approve of you taking your cafe (chairs et all) with you! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe best bit Red is the ever changing view, plus you always get the table that you want and no long waits to be served. I am hoping to hit the road again later this year.
ReplyDeleteha, the travelling cafe, love it!
ReplyDeleteWe do he same thing when we travel Red. Our little travelling home becomes our cafe and hotel, our stability during the trip - to me there is nothing more wonderful that to be settled by the water or high in the hills and have that evening cuppa round the ole campfire. This was a lovely post and I love your cafe, even the friend that came to visit. The photo down by the water - is Pilchard fishing? lol
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with Dina—you have the best café in the world!
ReplyDeleteSigh. Your wonderful post found a resonating spot in my heart, and now I feel a longing to just travel…
Red,
ReplyDeleteEverything gets to travel. I read about the pants, then the rocks and now the Cafe and chairs. Glad you are enjoying the outdoors.
Love ya
When I change my blog from South Florida Guy to All Over the Place Guy I will need one of these rolling cafes.
ReplyDeleteTres exclusive Red, ten years you say, these are the best travelled chairs today..
ReplyDeleteWow! Love the idea of travellings café. Just amazing Wyndham Caravan Park.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was young... very long ago ! I almost whwnt to australia. I had to go to the ambassy in geneva, to inquire. Bur, the doors had been always closed. On's to *les recemcement* ( conting people) , Another time, it was a celebration !
ReplyDeleteWell I had urge to live my parents. So I went to London, witch I like very match.
When i do camping, it is trought France, Spain and Stwitzerland, to gold panning competitions. I Sleep in my big Ford .car.
By the way, we might had met.
UN petit coucou de Lausanne en Suisse.
Sorry for all the whrittin mistakes. Even in frech. fautes de frappe !
ReplyDeleteOoh, nothing like a nice road trip, look at all those wonderful sights and sounds! The Cafe visitor is especially adorable:)
ReplyDeleteNow that's the best kind of cafe! Looks delightful.
ReplyDeleteperfect in every way!!!!
ReplyDeletesafe travels...
I'm very impressed with the changing decor of your cafe. But I'm glad you've kept the chairs -- they really look comfortable.
ReplyDeleteThis is not the type of traveling we like but nature looks fantastic and love the visitor.
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
Filip
Red, you've found some terrific places to pitch your tent with great scenery in all directions. Even your "visitor" looks friendly. Great collection of photos.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to book a seat at your cafe some day!
ReplyDelete@Dina - Yes, I'm SOOOOO lucky! Why don't you join me sometime?!
ReplyDelete@Joan Elizabeth - It's perfect because EVERYTHING is geared towards what I want!!
@Alessandra - As you know, it's the only way to get exactly what you want! We eat out, but usually the view from the chairs is fantastic!
@Linley - HAha, actually sometimes the view is so fine & relaxing that cafe orders take a LOOOOOONG time to be filled ...
@Tanya - So do I!
@Saucy Kod - Pyromaniac Pilchard would add 'campfire' to the list of cafe 'must haves'!!!! And yes, that IS him fishing!
@Hilda - I'm glad I inspired you! Make it happen, girlfriend!!
@Manzanita - HAha, everything travels, but that's a GOOD thing, right?!?! Love ya back, girlfriend!
ReplyDelete@SFlaGuy - The good thing is, it's all DIY!! Or maybe I should patent it ... I'll be interested to see what YOUR cafe looks like!!
@PDP - Sadly, not so exclusive! The market was flooded with them, so now every 2nd Grey Nomad has a set!! If anyone nicked them, we'd be hard pressed to prove they were ours ...
@sonia - Welcome!! Strange that the donkey only seemed to come around at mealtimes!!! But it made our stay in Wyndham memorable!!
@Beatrice - Welcome to you too! What a shame the embassy was closed - but don't let that stop you coming to Australia!! Sounds like you're an experienced camper now, so you'll love it!! And don't worry, everyone makes typos ...
@LONDONLLULU - HAha, these are the results of several roadtrips! And better a donkey visiting than, say, a snake or crocodile!
@ladyfi - Well ... it'd probably have to be modified for Sweden!
ReplyDelete@Jo - It works for us!! Have a great weekend!
@George - The chairs are the best for appreciating the ever changing scenery! Oh - and the bakery food!!!
@Filip - The outdoor cafe isn't for everyone - but everyone will probably find at least one spot to their liking!!
@TFG - Thank you!! It's always a pleasure compiling a post like this - as I sort through the photos, I'm blessed with many happy memories!
@Kath - HAha, if you can track us down, you're welcome!! But you're better off finding us just after a bakery buyout ... just sayin'!
Very original idea for the theme day. I wouldn't mind visiting that cafe it has gorgeous and diverse views. I would choose a day when the owners have just been to a country bakery. Do you think you could make your text bigger for us oldies with poor eyesight.
ReplyDeleteHome is where breakfast is served,eh? Those chairs look comfy!
ReplyDeleteThe happiness : a car, a caravan ;-)

load of fun to be sure; a wonderful lifestyle you have created and made the most of. Was it smelling somewhat 'fishy' around Menindee while you camped there? All the drying out carp laying around?? That's how it was when I visited May '12; enchanting place, I'd have loved to spend more time photographing but was on a whistle-stop coach tour. Didn't see this come through my reader though; wondering why blogger did that to me?
ReplyDeleteLike your choice for the theme day. The first one is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteGreat post, I like your idea of the traveling cafe. Wonderful scenery and gorgeous photos. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHahahahah.... cute Cafe!! Seems even the wild creatures like it. Must of smelled something tasty.
ReplyDeleteYour pop up looks like the one I had many years ago. Loved it!!
"Amazing Australian Adventures" has been included in the A Sunday Drive for this week. Be assured that I hope this helps to point even more new visitors in your direction.

Your home away from home looks very inviting. Has anyone told you those are great looking chairs :-). Have a fabulous weekend. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDelete@diane b - You are WAY better off visiting the cafe just after a bakery run!! Blogger seems to apply random text sizes to whatever I put in. But will try.
ReplyDelete@TMWH - While we're travelling, I refer to the campertrailer as 'home' without even thinking about it!! We'll be devastated when the chairs fall apart - they're the most comfortable camp chairs I've EVER experienced!
@Celine & Phillippe - Happiness is made of these simple things!
@Carole - It's the first time I've ever seen fish roadkill!! But that didn't detract from the marvellous setting - one of the best free camp sites EVER! Blogger must hate you - I know it does me from time to time!
@Valladolid DP - Thank you!! It was fun doing this post - it brought back many happy memories!!
ReplyDelete@eileeninmd - The travelling cafe's further adventures may well be highlighted here at a later date!! Watch this space!
@MJWC - Our camper trailer is 30 years old this year - we're hoping it has another 30 years in it, but it probably doesn't! Still, it works for us ...
@Jerry - Thank you so much!! I'm honoured!!
@Mary - They are such great looking chairs that most grey nomads on the road have the exact same ones! And yet, the manufacturer has now made a new model that's much less comfortable and doesn't fold down so small! Go figure!!
I was sure I left a comment about how comfy the chairs look.
ReplyDeletedamn computer glitches.
Our fifth-wheel RV was our only home for over 10 years...home was always the same, but the back- and front-yards were always different! So much fun.
ReplyDeleteYour "yards" are beautiful.
I like the way you managed to get bakeries into this story too! Part of camping that we like the most is eating! Everything tastes better when you are not in your own home, but outdoors.
