The Black Stump died a death because of it's very naffness. However the corpse has been revived. http://www.blackstump.com/default.htm

Like most chains of "theme" restaurants, Sizzler, Lone Star, Hog's Breath, Black Stump, Outback whatever, they usually suffer from their very high standard of standardness. It's because they are all the same and because they are attempting to run on very low margins that the food tends towards rubbish rather than good and the service is non existent to poor.

There are a very few exceptions and if you want to find a true Aussie feed overseas, go down to the local bottlo (Off License for the Poms, Liqour store for the yanks, sorry euro's dunno what you call them over there, but you get the idea), procure a slab of whatever Australian beer you can find, (it won't matter by the time you've finished), get you local butcher to carve you a good sized steak or lamb chop, and while you are at it, grab some snags.

Go home, open one of the beers, go into your backyard and light a good sized fire, keep drinking beer until the fire dies down a bit then throw the meat on it and wait until it's cooked the way you like it. Ususally scorched black on the outside and raw on the inside. You can whack on some onions as well and it's not a bad idea to have a bread roll or a couple of slices of bread handy for holding your snag.

If there are sheilas in attendance then there is most likely going to be some form of salad available as well.

Whilst cooking, the beer should be steadily consumed to avoid having too much conversation. All the blokes should gather round the barbie and all the women will be in the kitchen or round the table and for gawds sake keep the two sexes separate.

Once the meat is looking like it's ready you should be well oiled with beer and about ready to eat. By the time you finish your meal, you should be close to running out of beer and ready for some backyard cricket if it is a daytime affair, or if it is night time, you might want to try to crack onto one of the sheilas. I'll leave it up to your own devices as to how the do will end, because it's about this time in the proceedings that I fall over and find I can't get up having lost the cooridination of me limbs.

If you feel the need to converse, here is a quick lesson in Strine, (The local dialect):
