    Oliver Siddle's USA Therapy Fund Raising Appeal
    Oliver (son of principal vet Mount Dandenong Practice Moss) has an unknown diagnosis but has atypical cerebral palsy symptoms meaning he isn't able to walk independently or talk. In December 2008 he will be flying over to Florida in the USA to have 3 weeks of intensive physio, speech & occupational therapy + hydrotherapy. The therapy is unique & not available in Australia. It involves Oliver wearing a suit made from bungy type material that was similarly worn by Russian astronauts. It is hoped that the therasuit therapy will help him with his spacial awareness & ability to walk before he heads off to school next year

    More information about the therapy can be found at www.ptatherapy.com

  • Day one in honkers
  • Mon 20th October 2008
  • Well after a delayed departure from the white swan I miss my bloody train to honkers... aaarrrgggghhh! anyhow get the next one which arrives late and manage to cruise through customs and quarantine yet again with my cache of dried Aussie herbs and small armoury of cooks knives, my palms are not even sweating anymore. Quick lunch with Ben Cheung from Watsons wine wholesalers, I settle in and Benny Chan an ex Melbourne boy from Watsons group picks me up and we are off for a briefing at the club! After we go over the weeks promos I get changed and do a specific training session on my menus and dishes showing them and tasting every facet of the dishes. I am sooooo happy to see the ingredients and produce is of A1 export quality all Aussie Lamb, Angus beef, Salmon, YV Salmon caviar, crayfish all nearly better quality than is available here!
