HIKEtoberfest! SUNSET @ MIDDLE HARBOUR - THE AUSTRIAN CLUB! Octoberfest!
Thu, Oct 22, 5:36 AM**"MJ, how in the fahk did you find this schnitzel place?"** **Just wait. I know you're gonna say those exact words when we walk through the doors...** **I love this short yet challenging hike(s). I love this restaurant. It is October, so let's celebrate with a sunset hike to the best European schnitzel in Sydney!** **THE HIKING – EATING – DRINKING PLAN:** First, the bus. The **172x leaves Wynyard Stand A (corner of Carrington Street and Margaret Street) at 436pm.** Tell your boss you've gotta "drop tools" at 415pm, and meet us there. If you miss this bus? You miss the event (or an expensive Uber to catch up). The bus drops at Seaforth Oval 513pm... quick change / bathroom for those who need it, and off we hike at 530pm (drivers read below). **Middle Harbour Hiking 4kms.** Middle Harbour is stunning, and **The Bluff Lookout** is the prize at the top that’s not to be missed. When we leave Seaforth Oval, you will not believe how Mother Nature has carved this trail and caves so close to suburbia (and **The Austrian Club**). It’s the perfect start to build up some hunger Octoberfest. The **Bluff Lookout Sunset** is the finale, and it's 300m away from our Austrian destination. Yet be aware – sure it’s close to Sydney’s CBD – but this trail has ascent and will be a bit challenging (*from Harbour level to 153metres - you'll earn your beer*). Please join our whatsapp group **[HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/G6Xa9ByXTlu1LHO5ckSZWV) \- all members for this hike must join\.** **The Austrian Club.** Wait ‘til you see this schnitzel haus – you’ll feel like you’re in rural Austria. It’s so authentic, so friendly, and so delicious. We found this delightful joint quite a while ago, and no shit a week later it appeared in **[GOOD FOOD Sydney Morning Herald, and they loved it](https://www.smh.com.au/goodfood/sydney-eating-out/this-raucously-cosy-club-serving-schnitzels-and-schnapps-is-still-going-strong-after-45-years-20250303-p5lgkp.html)**. Their **[MENU IS HERE](https://www.austrianclubrestaurant.com/menu/menu.pdf)**. The local government donated land to the Austrian community, and they built an authentic home that's not to be missed. When we leave, we'll jump back on the bus - no doubt some will share an Uber too. The bus is a little tricky, but I've got it worked out / will explain on the nite. **The LOGISTICS:** a) *Be on time. Be safe. Be fit for the ascent.* b) **172x Bus** drops right at Seaforth Oval, our meeting point. There's parking there too, but smart drivers would park at The Austrian Club and $10 Uber (or **141 Bus** down) to our starting point then hike to their car. c) Cancels (day before or on the day) / no shows. Nope. Don’t do it. The Austrian Club has my credit card for the reso, and the workers are volunteers – if you RSVP “Attend” then show up. d) **$10 for this one. Cash or PayID.** e) Bring good energy. Bring mates or dates. Chat. And laughs. Let's have some grand fun in Mother Nature. g) Again, please join our whatsapp group **[HERE](https://chat.whatsapp.com/KTSf8JzeVAPLs6c5FeMFx3)**, so we can all find the starting point. See you for a beautiful and fun nite-hike! MJ In pressing the “Attend” button for this hike, you acknowledge that: a) You are healthy and fit to complete the hike describe; b) You have read and will follow [NSW National Parks Bushwalking Safety Guidelines](https://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au/safety/bushwalking-safety) for this hike; c) You have no chronic / underlying health issues that deter you from completing this hike; d) You understand your host is just that – your host, not a professional hiker – and that you and you alone are responsible for your hiking health, safety, and wellness; e) You’ve been advised to download the “Emergency Plus App” and f) You’ve been advised to obtain individual [hiking insurance from 1Cover](https://www.1cover.com.au/adventure-travel-insurance/hiking-trekking/?utm_source=google&utm_source_platform=gads&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=13564994076&utm_term=adventure%20travel%20insurance&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=13564994076&gbraid=0AAAAAD_bfRAu6Io5ZkHeiIYCP_evtsQ_z&gclid=CjwKCAjwz5nGBhBBEiwA-W6XRLm8Itjn1am8sdPMxVhBtRmsDOWkolLlVATJcXW5jW-9JgB7hb9kMhoC7M0QAvD_BwE).

🌽 Country Cookup Potluck (Mexico & Tamales) - Sat, Nov 7, 5pm, Auburn
Sat, Nov 7, 6:00 AMCalling all home cooks, bakers and culinary adventurers — we’re heading to **Mexico** for our next Country Cookup Challenge! This is part of our country-by-country food making adventure series, where everyone picks a dish from the list below with the end goal of making something a bit different from what you might usually do, and then we enjoy eating a feast from that country in a potluck format. Hosted by Paola (Mexican) and Alejandra (Venezuelan) who brought us the empanada-making session previously, you'll see that Mexican cuisine goes far beyond tacos and burritos. Think smoky chillies, corn, beans, slow-cooked meats, steamed goodies, fresh coriander / cilantro, tangy salsas and rich dark chocolate mole savoury sauces. \-\-\- ### **🌽 How this Cookup Works** * **RSVP to the event** **and let us know which dish you'd like to make** from the list below, when you RSVP or in the event comments. A range of recipes are available online for each dish. * **Prepare your dish at home and bring it along for our 5pm potluck.** Remember to keep portions regular size, just enough for everyone to get a little taste of all the dishes. * Once a dish has been claimed, we'll add the person's name & selected dish in the menu listed here in the event description to help us avoid duplicates. * For those also interested in joining us earlier in learning and practicing making mexican tamales from 1pm, seating is limited... so you must rsvp separately with me to save your spot. \-\-\-\- ### **Optional : Tamale Making Session, 1PM (must confirm your spot with me separately)** Want to learn how to make **tamales** from scratch? Starting at **1:00 PM**, we'll make the tamales together, then get them steaming. Tamales take around **1½–2 hours to steam**, so if we have the time, we can also enjoy a **short game** together while we wait. You don't need to make tamales to attend the main event or enjoy eating them. If you'd like to join the tamale session, please let us know as we have limited seating for this activity. If you're helping to make tamales, you can contribute ingredients for it OR make a potluck items from the list below. If you bring an item, we have a fridge, can reheat it as needed too, and/or can also make it when you're here. We have a microwave etc for any reheating needs. \-\-\-\-\- ### **🌽 Menu confirmed to date** * Hibiscus Ice Tea (Freya) * Guacamole and Pico de Gallo (Paulina) * Refried beans with mince and salsa (Amit) * Suadero (Ben) * Calabacitas Vegetables (Manna) * Tamales (subgroup event - you'll need to let me know if you want to join the tamales making session!) * Polvorones / Mexican wedding biscuits (Ai Lin) * Arroz con Leche (Natasha) * Other dishes will be added here as they are confirmed by event participants ...and if you're searching for inspiration, below are a range of Mexican dishes that you can choose from for the potluck! I've bolded the ones that would be especially great to bring. Also feel free to suggest another recipe not on the list, if it's Mexican. ### **📋 Mexican Dish Pick List** **🌶️ Starters, Salsas & Sides** * Guacamole - TAKEN * Pico de Gallo - TAKEN * **Salsa Verde** * Salsa Roja - TAKEN * **Esquites — Mexican Street Corn Salad** * Elote — Mexican Street Corn * Frijoles Refritos — Refried Beans - TAKEN * **Nopales — Cactus Salad** * Queso Fundido * Quesadillas * Chilaquiles * **Mexican Rice / Arroz Rojo** * Tamales — TAKEN **🌮 Mains** * **Tacos al Pastor** * **Carnitas — Slow-cooked Pork** * Cochinita Pibil — Yucatán-style Slow-cooked Pork * Chicken Tinga * **Birria** * Enchiladas * **Chiles Rellenos — Stuffed Chillies** * Pozole * **Mole Poblano** * Tostadas * Tlayudas — Oaxacan-style Giant Tortilla * Pambazos — Stuffed Bread Rolls * **Picadillo** * Calabacitas — Mexican-style Squash & Vegetables - TAKEN 🍮 **Desserts & Sweet Things - We have enough desserts now** * Churros * Tres Leches Cake * Flan * Pastel de Elote — Mexican Corn Cake * Arroz con Leche — Mexican Rice Pudding - TAKEN * Conchas — Mexican Sweet Bread * Buñuelos * Mexican Chocolate Cake * Cajeta — Goat's Milk Caramel * Pan de Muerto (if you're feeling particularly ambitious!) Plus if you've got a favourite Mexican dish that isn't on the list, feel free to suggest it too! \-\-\-\-\- ### **🕐 Logistics** **Tamale-making session:** 1:00 PM **Doors open for the main potluck:** 5:00 PM **Dinner begins:** \~5:30 PM 📍 **Location:** Near Auburn Central in Auburn. Location details will be emailed to attendees a couple of days before the event. We'll also provide contact information in the email with the location details in case anyone needs help finding us. **Transport:** * 🚗 Street parking is available nearby. * 🚆 The location is approximately a 6 minute walk from Auburn train station. We'll have cups, plates and cutlery available, so there's no need to bring these for your dishes. Come hungry with your Mexican dish, and let's see how much of Mexico we can fit onto one dinner table. Cheers, Ale, Paola & Natia \-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Kitchen Catchup Code of Conduct** The Kitchen Catchup community is a space for all members, of all skill levels to, both in person and online, \>\> safely discuss\, cook and eat all types of foods from around the world\, \>\> be treated fairly\, equally and with respect by all members\, and \>\> socialise & learn in an environment free from all forms of harassment and discrimination\. If you do not care for a certain ingredient, dish, cuisine or cooking technique (we all have these!), there is no issue with mentioning that you don't like it; however, please avoid negative reactions (verbal or otherwise) that could make other members in the group feel uncomfortable. If any further questions or to raise any concerns from any of our events, please feel free to get in touch with the event and/or meetup organisers. Thanks for helping to keep our community amazing!
