Bowen Mangoes

Yesterday we travelled to Agnes Water which is twinned with the Town of 1770, very quiet resorts on the Capricorn coasts, our accommodation is excellent, self contained villa in a resort, we come out of our back door through the gate and into the pool, fantastic. Had a dip this morning.

Yesterday while travelling here were looking out for local fruit stalls and saw one for Bowen Mangoes as recommended by Susan stopped, but none left, apart from the honesty box. As we were walking away the farmer came running out and said they were all sold, but he did have some in his barn - so we followed him, he told us all about the growing of mangoes, and gave us a huge bag, and refused any payment. Well they are beautiful, if we eat any more mangoes we'll turn into one!!! Last night we had local fish and prawns on the bbq which was delicious. Today just chilling, then back on the road again tomorrow up to Yeppoon.

Hi both of you.

Sounds like you are having a great time! The posts are sounding more Australian each time, good to see you picked up the lingo so quickly.

So if I read correctly the 4wd made you feel sick, but there was no mention of boat sickness. Does that mean you were looking forward to getting back on the boat from the 4wd? That must be a first, you could be cured.

Take care.
