Comments on: Cottage Point Inn, Cottage Point http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/10/28/cottage-point-inn-cottage-point/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

They take food from plates, then they make a mistake and take a finger off (and yes they can, very easily) then the birds have to be euthanased. Morally and ethically absolutely abhorrent bahaviour from a supposedly environmentally aware venue. Aside from CPInn's awful wildlife practices, a very nce review! from a wildlife point of view that is disgraceful they feed kookaburras.

My husband proposed to me at the Twelve Apostles during our trip to Melbourne, which I thought was purely to "visit relatives". Got down on one knee in the freezing wind and asked me to marry him in front of a number of tourists haha. Started pouring with rain 5 minutes later, so his timing was perfect!
