James and stopped in Goulburn on our way northwards last weeked, planning on lunch at the much-enjoyed Greengrocer cafe. But there was nothing but a concrete slab. Sadly, I now learn that it was destroyed by a fire last January.

Delegates to the Synod in Goulburn last September would have been bereft!

The Meridian Cafe in Marulan was excellent. I discover it to be so named because the town of Marulan is on the 150 E. meridan, base line for Eastern Australian Standard Time (The café is at about 150° 0 mins 25.2 secs E. longitude.)
