Adventures in paradise
APPLETON ESTATE AUSTRALIA SEAMUS MORGAN TIKI MUG IS HERE
They are here…
l guess everyone has just about seen pics of these mugs but they have now arrived in Australia. It’s the Appleton Estate Seamus Morgan Tiki mug. Made by Tiki Farm and designed by Big Toe, this mug comes in two Colors… Black and the limited Brown. All l can say is if you run or work in a bar get in touch with your Brown Forman Rep. and get some Appleton Estate promotions happening. Because like l always say “an event with rum and tiki mugs just can’t fail”.

WAILANA COCKTAIL LOUNGE WAIKIKI
I guess you can put this in the “When in Waikiki” section.
We have had several trips to Waikiki and on a heap of occasions have had breakfast at the Wailana Coffee House. It’s an institution. But did you know it has a Cocktail Lounge?
PHILLIP S. ROBERTS WAIKIKI TIKI TOURS PROMO.
I guess most of you know
…l have been in Hawaii for the past month, hangin’ out with our Tiki buddies.
l will put together some stories over the next few weeks (as l sort my photo’s, films and my brain for that matter), but to start with here’s a rough promo that l made with Phillip S. Roberts author of Waikiki Tiki Art, History and Photograph’s. He is doing Tiki Tours of Waikiki and boy does Phillip know his stuff.
ENGLISH HARBOUR RUM MELBOURNE CRUISE PHOTO’S
Usually when someone invites you on a three hour cruise
…alarm bells go off…after all everyone has seen that documentary series ‘Gilligan’s Island’. l’d have no idea how to make a coconut radio.
When you are tempted along with Rum and not just any Rum but, ‘English Harbour’ what can you do?
LuWOW AAA OPENING CN’s VIDEO FOOTAGE
I could write heaps about the LuWOW and l probably will…
…but last night was the AAA opening and rather than babble on, here is a short film clip.
It’s a bit shaky, as it was a last minute idea. I’d had a few drinks and was really enjoying the Sounds of Polynesia in Forbidden Temple Show Room …l thought to myself “someone should film this”. So l pulled out my trusty Canon point and shoot digital stills camera, selected movie and here’s what l got…it’s not great footage but it should give you an idea of how fantastic this place is…
LuWOW SOFT OPENING WITH PHOTO’S
Sorry this has taken so long to get this up
…after all it was last Thursday but we decided to try and add a Gallery to the post as there are quite a few photo’s.

LuWOW OPENING DETAILS
Is it the best kept secret or worst kept secret?

NEW APPLETON TIKI MUG AND MELBOURNE RUM CLUB
Feelin’ a bit shaky this morning?
…maybe you were at the 5th anniversary of the Melbourne Rum Club, hosted by Golden Monkey last night.
What a tribute to Melbourne’s (and inter-state’s) 60 plus Rum nuts who came out on a cold June night. I am sorry l didn’t take any photo’s… but hey l couldn’t be stuffed. l was more wound up in the generosity of the evening. That’s from everyone starting with the Golden Monkey and staff through to all of the sponsors who have been supporters of Rum Club through the years. There where a heap of giveaways and Rum concoctions to be had…and l had. Cheers, thanks and congrats to all involved…
