Thanks for that! The Lord Lamington story is def the one heard most often - and the one Michael Symons refers to in One Continuous Picnic - which is generally regarded as the best history of food in oz even though it was written in 1982. but the more i look, the more scotland and new zealand come up. like the pavlova, australia probably cant even 100 percent claim lamingtons...

Hello, I'm wondering if people think lamingtons are in danger of dying out. Certainly in Sydney and Melbourne city cafes you're more likely to find a friand than a lamington to go with your cafe latte - but I'm curious about the lamington's status in the country and in people's homes. If anyone knows of any good Lamington sources/festivals etc - I'd love to know. I have the usual history suspects - Michael Symons and Richard Beckett - and I have heard there was a festival in Stawell, Victoria but am unsure if it still goes on. Anyway, would love to hear your thoughts - i am researching an article for AAP. cheers, Tania
