Sugar cane
As we nudged our way up to Mackay we saw our first sugar cane plantations. I know, I know we are going to see lots more of it but it was exciting to welcome these first stands.
I had been right up north as a kid but remembered hardly anything. On the other hand, my husband went up there as a kid about the same age and remembered heaps. I dunno what I was doing ... sleeping probably.
In the morning we went out to see the radio telescope 20 or so kms out of town. On another wayfaring trip we visited the radio telescope at Parkes but this one is an array of dishes on a long track that can act like one big dish.
I've never been through this part of Queensland before so looking forward to seeing it through your eyes.

DeleteWhen the flower blooms it is time to harvest so you might not see lots more.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, we discovered that those flowers mean harvest time.
DeleteI don't think I've ever noticed the flowers before!
ReplyDeleteI hadn't either. They are so pretty with loads and loads of pinkish fluffy flowers across the field. There are more shots somewhere in the sequence.
