I was so looking forward to buying heaps of bananas but I was out of luck.
The bunches are still green as on the trees. We stopped at one house that
had a sign out and they had a few bananas, certainly not top quality but I
bought them anyway. I paid $3 for about six small bananas but it was nice
to buy them from the grower. Other than that they are $3.98 a kilo in
Woolworths here in Carnarvon.
Apparently the smaller sweet banana grown especially for school lunch boxes
was the initiative of someone from here in Carnarvon and there is a "large"
banana advising this. This is nothing like the "Big Banana" seen on the
east coast.
Mangos are also grown in this area, but again we are out of season.
Gill and Peter like to travel. In 2011/12 they completed a trip around Australia. One of the things that they are aware of is the fact that to live your dream then you actually have to do something and that's what they did. In 2013 they decided to further explore outback Australia and crossed the Simpson Desert. Going forward they will continue to travel as they plan for the next few years. To see some of their other trips follow the links.
