TULLY

Today we ventured out to a property owned by Sue & Craig, who propagate banana trees from tissue culture and then raise the trees until they are about 12" tall when they are ready for planting in the fields. It was very interesting indeed to actually see how bananas are grown. In our group today were a young couple from Ireland called Mick & Stacey. They are trying to accumulate 88 days of work on the land within their 12 months here and if they achieve that then they are able to stay another 12 months in Australia. After spending today clearing trees and cyclone debris from the property and having a great morning tea and lunch made by Sue, Craig gave us all some fish that he had recently caught in the area which was greatly appreciated by all.
