		<title>Thar&#8217; She Blows - Absinthe in Early Australia</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We at Absinthe.com.au are on a particular journey to uncover the hidden history of our Green Muse in early Australian history, and show that it was not just a Continental phenomenon, but that the importation and consumption of absinthe was an established part of society down under.
One part of the detective tale is establishing the [...]]]></description>

		<title>There are no Kangaroos in Austria.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the confused, a number of tourist retailers in Austria carry T-shirts with the above slogan. It would be funnier if it wasn&#8217;t for the fact that many an importing absintheur in Australia has in fact had their packages turn up in Austria instead.
However, I digress from the intention of this post.

Just a friendly reminder why it is neither good practice, nor good sense, to set fire to your absinthe. You may end up slightly crispier than when you first decided to impress your friends.

		<title>Duplais Verte Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
One begins to develop specific criteria around when you want to have an absinthe, and how you would like an absinthe to be prepared. I for one seem to prefer to partake in absinthe when the weather is warmer, as the chilled water is more refreshing, and yet the ambient temperature allows for the heady [...]]]></description>
