the (f)route road trip

Well - the Road Trip was great - I just hadn't factored in the bad internet coverage 2km out of Orbost!

But luckily I had my trusty camera, so when words fail - photos will do the trick!

You can see the photos we took in Simon Thorpe's fab orchard, and his fruit fly fighting technique; beside Kim Gordon's espaliered fruit tree (not to mention her stunning textiles); in Jan and David Pitman's lounge room after their big Landcare day in Cann River; on Suzie Bady's porch at Cabbage Tree Creek - and her fruit on the stove; us at Cape Conran, then enroute to Goongerah; where we were given a fruit press demo; a guided tour at Egg Rock Nursery by Jarrod Ruch; heading for Warm Corners at Cabanandra; where Deb Foskey had apples in the oven, watermelon on the block; and quinces in the pan; then we braved the road to McKillops Bridge and an overflowing Little River Gorge, Gelantipy; Seldom Seen; and WTree; afternoon tea with the Buddhists at Siba and lastly to the WWOOF office - oh and a final roadside stop at the wild olive tree in Buchan.
