Today we left the wallabies and Skin's new friend, Bridget the Eastern Gray Kangaroo at Cape Hillsborough and set off again along the endless road towards Bowen. We travelled through sugar cane country and stopped to stare in wonder at a low floating cloud making it's way across a mountain.
As we approached Bowen, we spied an enormous,orange ball in the distance and realized that it was........
a A GIANT MANGO..................
Skin tried to read the inscription on the plaque.
But his new sun hat got in the way!
The lady at the Information Bureau told us that Bowen is actually more involved in the growing of tomatoes than mangoes. Maybe it was two difficult to design a BIG TOMATO or maybe they didn't have enough red paint!
I took a photo of the van beside the mango so you can see that it would take more children than everyone in grade 3/4 at Kongwak Primary School, and their teacher to eat IT ALL UP.
As we rolled into Bowen, I saw HUGE white letters spread across the side of a mountain.
I thought for one moment we had driven all the way to Hollywood!
I thought we both needed a walk, so drove down to the wharf and set off along the l-o-n-g, old, wooden jetty.
Skin ran on ahead and immediately fell down one of the wide cracks in the wood.
WHAT A FOOLISH BANANA!
We hope to have many more adventures here in Bowen during the next week.
KEEP WATCHING TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!!!!!!!
