24 May p.m.

After a tasty lunch of steak sandwiches we went to visit a few friends of Jessie & Justin that own plantations.
On the left watermelon field picked the week before and to the right pumpkins. Not the same as US pumpkins, these are flat punkin shaped but a mottled blue grey colour with orange flesh. Iron Chef (the owner) let us pick one, but we didn't get around to eating it.
Star fruits on the tree! Very sweet, not at all like the ones we get in the store, much juicier and not 'green' tasting.
Dog in the mango tree, unfortunately it wasn't mango season.
This is the next plantation we went to, basil grown for sale and some trial grapes. It was warmish and the smell at this place was divine!
These are wild passion fruit flowers in the second plantations home use area. We also saw, tomatoes (we got to pick and eat the early fruit), figs, hot peppers, green peppers, grapes, jack fruit, squash, oranges, and of course bananas! Carnarvon is known for their 'naners.
