Yes, we have bananas everywhere. The bags over the bunches protect the fruit from birds.
These lady finger bananas that we bought at a roadside stand were not pretty, but they were oh so good.
Over the last few days, we have switched outback Queensland for tropical Queensland. From the barren and mostly flat lands of the outback, we are now in the dense, lush, rich rainforest region. It’s gorgeous and green. And wet. It’s not called the wet tropics here for nothing.
Beautifully green tea fields.

Sugar cane fields are everywhere, as are bananas. Tea too. I’ve never seen bananas and tea growing before. I am loving the look of it all. We have been staying at Mission Beach, an area that was hit hard by cyclone Yasi last year. You can still see the devastation. But you can also see the recovery of the green and the rebuilding of houses and businesses. It’s good to see.

Red papayas at yet another roadside stand.
