As you come into Whyalla from Port Augusta keep going straight past the steel works through a 2 nd set of lights then another set of lights. At the 3 rd set of lights you will see a Shell servo on the right keeping heading through the lights and app 40 metres past the lights is the French bakery next to Auto pro.

Gotta love a good steak and kidney pie. If you are on the Redcliffe Peninsula in Queensland try the pie shop near the corner of Main rd and Duffield road. Again, Vietnamese immigrant owner who makes an awesome pie for I think $3.50

Got that right Pete, Vietnamese bake is the best I found, also they seem to put there love into baking and always smiling,

Yesterday while in Whyalla I went to there shop for a steak n kidney, at the back were 2 Vietnamese bakers rolling out the pastry for more yummy pies.

There got app 10 diff types of pies in all, also there cakes and the creamy Kitchener buns are yummy wink

Not to forget there long French stick bread.

How about in the 1960's on a Saturday arvo going to the local pub for a few ales berp.

Most pubs had a pie man out the front, a ute with a cover and a wood fired oven sniff sniff. biggrin

You go out to the pie seller say a pie with sloppy peas and mash, wow a whooping 9 pence we paid, and seeing the smoke coming out of the chimey as he put a bit more wood in the fire box of the pie warmer.

Why cant those days return, oh a pot of beer was about 8 pence? (And in those days you could leave your change on the bar to go to the toilet and no one took it)

The pub where I mostly drank at was the Tingalpa hotel in Wynnum rd, was packed out of a Saturday arvo, with a big fat sp bookie standing in the corner to take sp bets.
