Growing of pineapples near Maryborough, Queensland

The area surrounding Hervey Bay is mainly sugar cane country but as we
continued to drive towards Brisbane we started to drive past paddocks of
pineapples. As we had approached Hervey Bay we had seen some farm stalls
selling pineapples direct to the travelling public for as little as sixty
cents each (however these pineapples looked quite small).

With plenty of signage telling us of a farm stall, we stopped off and
sampled some lovely sweet pineapple and bought a really large one which we
have enjoyed over the last couple of days. This one cost of $5 and it was
worth it as it was so big and sweet. We could have bought three smaller
ones for $10 but large was much more appealing and well worth it.
