Flying squirrel

Flying squirrels are incapable of sustained flight, instead they glide between trees, with flights recorded to 90 meters. The direction and speed of the animal in midair is varied by changing the positions of its two arms and legs, largely controlled by small cartilaginous wrist bones. This changes the tautness of the patagium, a furry parachute-like membrane that stretches from wrist to ankle. It has a fluffy tail that stabilizes in flight. The tail acts as an adjunct airfoil, working as an air brake before landing on a tree trunk.

    Your website is great! The pics and menus make me want to fly down right now for eats!! And of course I would have to try Morgan’s drink, just because! Best wishes on your venture, and hope you are having lots of fun with it!

    I had dinner last night at your place and it was Fantastic! The service was brilliant and you delicious food made it a truly wonderful experience- needless to say, your unique cocktails were a great addition. Definitly one of Bondi’s best kept secrets.

    Silly question maybe, but it’s not on the drinks list. Is there any Sangria? I’m thinking about coming for my birthday but only if there’s Sangria!!

    Hey,

    Noticed on your wine list you have The Nebb.

    That is my baby and was wondering if you had any feedback?

    Cheers,
