Big mango
We had to find a 'big thing' sometime. We're at Bowen. Bowen mangos are like Gayndah oranges, Stanthorpe apples and Kingaroy peanuts ... almost everyone in Queensland has heard of them.
And I can't believe I haven't had any since I got here - Boiled Peanuts. I forgot about them! I'll have to get off to the old Bettie Bros fruit shop for a bag tomorrow.
It actually looks like it's been cleaned up since the last time we were there a few years ago - Bowen is our nemesis. The only 2 times we've stayed there, there's been a massive unseasonal deluge!
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
Oh wow, that is BIG!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso Love your shots of the last few days, that jumping silhouette is a prize winner.
Thanks Peter. The solhouette was a chance capture which pleased me a lot.
DeleteBig it is! :-)
ReplyDeleteAt least this big thing was nice and clean and well kept, so many of them fall into disrepair after a year or two.
DeleteMy husband enjoyed the frozen mango that they sell there.
mmmmm....I love mangoes.
ReplyDeleteI'd eat them every day if I could.
But if I eat too many I get hives!
