Bob Dickason - Mummaluka Restaurant

Restaurant design & decoration.

	jungle restaurant One of the themes of the Mummaluka Restaurant is "Where Indiana Jones meets Dr Livingstone on safari." Guests enter the restaurant through a Victorian porch into a bar in the style of the British Raj or Raffles Hotel. The area is littered with luggage and the paraphernalia of a jungle expedition. Going into the restaurant we appear to be in a workshop which has an old bi-plane crashed throught the ceiling; ...through an arch into the Lost City complete with idol; ...and into the final tented area which looks out on a small jungle and comes complete with anaconda.

The idea of the bi-plane crashed through the ceiling presented an interesting design challenge and after a little research I based the plane on a Steerman with seven cylinder Continental radial engine as was used to train many of America's WWII pilots. Our pilot, Jimmy Junk, wasn't one of the lucky ones; possibly it was the aviation fuel he has in his hand.

Apart from fascinating decoration Mummaluka-Bar-B-Que has great food and terrific staff. See their web site.	The anaconda by Double-B Signs. Nice one, BB!
