Then it was up town for a quick bite to eat before going to the fruit farm, we arrived at the farm and there ended up being 18 of us waiting to do the tour. The owners turned up,first Joe the husband handed us all a large bunch of grapes to eat and the wife Sharon was such a hard case, she was telling jokes and was very informative about how to propogate the various citrus fruits and plants in general. So off we went nice and cosy in her little mini bus with old scolloped fringe all around the top of the windows, very italian. She drove us around the orchards explaining everything and then we watch a dvd all about the farm, it was great.
When we got back we had taste testing of all the goods that Sharon makes, some of which were jams, relishes, sauces, honey, wines, mustards etc etc.
Then we headed back to town to fill up with that "cheap" fuel from the day before, we drove up and down the street and couldn't find the petrol station, there was a petrol station with no name on it and no bowsers and we thought "NO" that can't be it there is nothing left they couldn't demolish it in less than 24 hours, but guess what they had. As they say he who hesitates losers. So early night tonight as we have nearly 500 klms to go tomorrow.
Wednesday 30 March - Arrived at Griffith, set up the van and drove around town checking it out. The main street was so long it seemed to go forever. On the way up with noticed a United service station with diesel fuel 10cents cheaper than any of the others. I suggested we fill the car up and John said we will do it tomorrow.
Whats with the special bus?
