1. How To Appreciate a Pav
Learning to appreciate and sometimes make this wonderful Australian dessert was both exciting

ability.

Last but not least...A very special thank you to the Rotary Club of Ipswich, and Rotary as a whole. If it wasn’t for this organization and people like you, there would be no way I could be here. You are really incredible. My sincerest thanks to all.
I hope you could also learn something from this experience. I will remember you for the rest of my life!
