Sundowner is a well known, high quality, short run souvenir item manufacturer, Australian designed and manufactured.
Their souvenir teaspoons can often be readily identified by the large "head design", in this case a Pelican, and when held in the hand they feel much heavier than other souvenir teaspoons.
Sundowner still operates to this day and you can visit their website HERE
Lake Cathie is a popular tourist area in NSW, just South of Port Macquarie. A great place for the weekend, enjoying life with the kids and watching the wildlife such as the Dolphins, Pelicans and sometimes (rarely) an occasional shark!
