Here it is, a definitively Australian gingerbread house, inspired by Megan, baked by me and decorated by my kids – with a little help from me and my Mum (ok, I confess, the kids got bored and Mum and I finished the job, the lolly encrusted sides are totally Grandma’s fault).
With lots of plum trees
A sheep or two,
A sheep or two,
a kangaroo
A clothesline out the back
Verandah out the front
And an old rocking chair
There’s an outdoor dunny and a water tank (though it’s a little on the small side).
We’ve even left the front door open for Santa, can’t get much more Aussie than that!
Mim's Muddle 
Speechless.
Fantastic job! Now I’m humming along.I just have a kitset from IKEA and I still haven’t put it together. Mind you I have had a tummy bug and now a cold since we arrived in Auckland.
Man, that’s the best gingerbread house ever. Though I had the song lyrics all wrong until I realised I’ve been brainwashed by Bourke’s Backyard!!
Love it!
That’s disgusting. I can’t even manage more than one batch of shortbread. Utterly disgusting. And now I’m singing that song….:)
@Ariane – I know! LOL Can’t think what comes over me at this time of year, it’s so not my usual MO 😛
Love, love, love the kangaroo… and the veranda too!

Wow! That’s a fabulous construction.
A masterpiece! It is gorgeous.
Just love it Mim. Well done.
Ok, I got overwhelmed during Christmas and am just now catching up, so I know this is late, but I have to say I LOVE the gingerbread kangaroo! 🙂
