AN INSIDERS GUIDE - LOIS DUPLIEX
Lois is from Purumbete and runs the beautiful Lake Edge Cafe - just a short drive from the Princes Hwy - it's well worth the detour for Lois's home-cooked and homegrown menu full of irresistible deliciousness! The view across the Lake is pretty magical too.
I am the blood of strawberry gems, the earthy scent of
an oozing blue, the stillness in the whisky glass.
I am the gift of fertile soil and ocean bounty.
I am the provider.
