WHAT TO PACK!!!

  When coming to Coochiemudlo Island

and staying in  a Quirky Cottage

Please   pack these types of clothes and accessories ...  

      

          

  

                           tuxedo           fox fur    and expensive jewelery!!

             And, as Gladys always says to Kevin,

              "Don't forget your handky Daarl..."

                        Only joshing!

Coochie is extremely casual,though the boots would definitely catch a few smiles !!! 

This is serious "stuff" from now on....

What food to pack...

Here are some ideas....

Spoil yourself with some really simple, yet, delicious treats while you are on holiday....

Why not try something totally new!! Give you and your taste buds a memorable experience....

like....  munching on

pan fried brains

encrusted with macadamia nuts!!       You will LOVE them!!!

Or stick with a few easy favourites,

Thick slices of honey baked ham, succulent spinach and big, juicy mushrooms to enjoy with your fresh eggs!!

Bring over some "easy" pancake  mix or waffles to toast with mouth watering

Bring along some ooey gooey stinky   cheeses, quince paste, fresh figs, fruit, bikkies and dips and good ol' "cheezles" and "chips" for nibbles

Please remember basic condiments and spreads like..,salt and pepper,
 sauces,

and Mum, don't forget the vegemite!!

from a supermarket

 on the mainland, before you come. There is NO Supermarket, Deli or Bakery on the island, though we do have a corner store

called the Coochie "KIOSK". It carries quite a reasonable supply of basic (black and gold or no name) products in case you forget anything, though it is more expensive and naturally has a lot less variety than Woolies or Coles, but still very convenient.

The Corner Store/KIOSK is great for....

hamburgers and chips

milk shakes hot dogs,

newspapers milk bread  etc.

And you can also purchase those expensive,

 toxic, lung destroying, hideously addictive, good for nothing, time wasters, that I still buy and passionately crave for, everyday!!!!

Kids, please take note from a sorry smoker....

It's definitely not cool to smoke!!! And anyone who says it is, is an absolute idiot!!!! Create some self esteem and courage from within and become a leader, a mentor, for kids your own age and younger. Be proud and strong to say

YES to health, wellbeing and things that do actually make you feel good inside. Say NO

to things that are bad for you or anyone else. Listen to your heart it always knows the truth!! Everyone deserves good and healthy things for their body, mind and soul, not utter trash!!!! Our noses would love aromatic aromas to smell, and our lungs long for fresh, clean air to breathe, not stinking smoke!!!

What do you think

What to pack for the Beach....

  Your     favourite

         pair of

             sunglasses  

Beach bags  

Swim wear...

For the Sun

 Sun block, shade

Head protection

           pack your favourite hat!

shoes. Shoes for tennis or golf. If you own surf shoes, it's a good idea to bring them along for walking the beach or even swimming.

As for what clothes to bring....
Casual and comfy. Clothes for the kids, should be "play" clothes, as they all get filthy having FUN!!!!

What to pack, in the winter time...

Even though Coochiemudlo is a sub-tropical island, during winter, we have been known to experience very cool evenings and mornings here.

There are reverse cycle air conditioners in all the cottages, as well as heaters, though sometimes guests choose not to use these appliances, to either help with the ozone or other personal reasons. Heating can be very drying on your skin and body. Anyway....

it is actually a good idea to pack bed socks   winter pjs  even throw in a             

                      beanie or two

dressing gown, singlet and slippers, that way you will definitely stay comfy, cosy and....

  " as snug as a bug in a rug".

You can also pretend to be your Great Grandmother or Grand father, without actually playing "dress ups" .

Personal entertainment...
 

Bring along your favourite music, cds,
 and

dvds, old cassettes,
                              

  Camera to capture those "precious" moments

For your personal use....

        (extra) 

Current book  you are reading and glasses if you need them

Laundry Needs....

extra "front load" washing powder for the washing machine if you will be staying a while 

What to pack in case it rains

Fruit and Veg...

  all your supplies

What to pack, just for fun!!!
