Highlights


	We've included quite a comprehensive section about Alice in Wonderland including information about Alice Liddell, the girl that inspired the story, and inspired Lewis Carroll, the author. This is Alice in the photograph on the left. Click on the picture to meet Alice and learn the story behind the story.


	For lovers of fine coffee, we've added a brief story about where our coffee is grown, how it is prepared and why our coffee tastes better than the coffee you're served in other places.

Harold Lloyd, one of Hollywood's lesser known heros is the inspiration behind our giant 3 metre wide, one-tonne clock at the Jam Factory in South Yarra. Learn more about Harold's life and times by clicking on the picture on the left.

The more we find out about Harold, the more we love him. At one time Harold had sixty ( that's 60) dogs... mostly Great Danes and St Bernards. We have photos of Harold on the screen and at home, we have Quicktime Movies of Harold in action (these may be slow to download... depending on your system and modem), and we have a series of Harold Lloyd posters from the 1920s in colour.

Did you know that way back in 1939 Walt Disney had his artists working on the Alice in Wonderland story? We've uncovered some incredible drawings and paintings that were forgotten in the Disney Studio archives.Click on the picture of the White Rabbit.

	Our Pure Maple Syrup comes all the way from Vermont, just below the Canadian border. Do you know how many Maple trees it takes just to make one gallon of Maple Syrup? You don't? Then click on the picture on the left to find out.


	Our resident artist and inventor, Peter Von Czarnecki is always at work dreaming up new ideas and inventions to be built into our restaurants. See some of the plans that are still on the drawingboard.


	One hunded years ago, on a train in India, a Scottish lady called Helen Bannerman wrote and illustrated this little book about a little boy. We're taking Little Black Sambo out of storage to celebrate 100th year of entertaining children.


	Here�s a special offer for people living in Canberra. Click on the underlined text... or the kookaburra.


	Whoever said "If it's written in the paper then it must be true" has obviously never been to Canberra and read about the adventures of Lola Montez, spider-dancer, libertine and mistress of Kings. We reveal the facts.


	Another feature of the restaurant in Canberra is our Special Weekend Menu . All your favourite dishes plus some new and exciting additions as well. Follow this link to find out more.


	Find out all about Shrove Tuesday... Pancake Day all over the world and especially here in Melbourne where, each year, we host our own Pancake Race through the streets of the city. (I�d put my money on the very determined lady on the left).
