  • I HAVE never been game enough to try…well game…and at first Casper, being from Denmark—the country, not WA’s southern paradise—was worried about eating so much Australian wildlife. But when the star dish was presented beautifully before us our curiosity for Aboriginal cuisine won us over. The Kuditj platter ($9.95) was piled high with wild lime-smoked…
