  • BUNTIMES July 2010.Pub
    The Bungonia Times The Community Grape Vine www.bungonia.net Circulation 380 Est. Readership 1,000 Volume 20 Issue 6 July, 2010 Macquarie magnificence None of this has stopped the little village from putting on a Convict Dinner to mark the occasion. Lachlan Macquarie might not be important enough for the state government to acknowl- edge but he has most certainly been important enough for Bungonia. In 1820 it was Macquarie, after all, who issued the Order giving permission to occupy the new country which included Bungonia. One hundred and ninety years later, Bungonia might have no school or shop, but it has a great heart. About 100 people descended on the hall, many dressed in convict clothing ( stripes are so fetching) or the dress of the day. False moustaches and mop caps were in abundance. Everyone contributed to a traditional 1800’s fare; hard-boiled eggs, pickled onions and hard cheeses greeted us at our tables, with the less certain addition of feijoas to provide Vitamin C and protection against scurvy. Rabbit, oxtail stew with dumplings, sauerkraut and Neaps all poured from the partly renovated hall kitchen. Choices of pudding included pie, apple charlotte and a wonderful fresh syllabub, which I am determined to master for dinners at home. Those who thought Anne Williams and her committee were there only to provide the meal were sorely mistaken; as convicts were clearing the pudding plates, Julia Mackay’s Macquarie Trivia competition began. Shamefully no table got near a full score but we certainly learnt a lot about Macquarie in the 40 intensely competitive minutes that followed.
