No, not mad, although some would say I am already mad. Me, myself and I, oh, and Jenni came with us, have gone from Greens Lake and now in South West Gippsland.
We will be here for 3 weeks then heading North to bend some bananas for a while.

Of course there are special plantations for straight bananas. It is Queenslands way of creating employment in the state.

If you travel slowly you may miss the possible cyclone Sandra that is expected of the coast of Qld.

Kaid, I was talking to the farmer just last week who pioneered the red tip bananas and he is no longer farming. You'll just have to learn to eat the yellow ones.

Can anyone tell us why they were dipped in red wax. I bought some the other day at Woolies as they were cheaper than the "Normal" ones.

I think that's to tell us they are grown organically HW.

Mmmm, Organic nanas dipped in Natural Chocolate, now that sounds healthy.
I can't wait to start bending them, I might it the profits though.
AWE i just thought red tipped bananas would make you eat them faster....

Now you're talking! It's probably a Qld thing, but we used to get deep fried bananas with ice cream at the drive in when I was a teen. Yum! I also like bananas on the BBQ with the usual meat.
Looking forward to meeting you on your way through Doug. Happy travels!
