This past weekend, I and a friend spent a day picking strawberries together out at Eastern Colour.
It’s truly one of the joys of my job discovering new places in the region to love.
I’m always up for visiting the villages in our region, so please let us know if there’s something you’d like us to cover.
Back to the strawberries, I’ve never actually been strawberry picking before.
I remember driving past farms as a kid on the way to the coast and yelling out that I wanted to go.
Growing up in Brisbane, and growing up with a dad who grew up on a pineapple farm, I’ve definitely seen my fair share of tropical fruit.
However, not that much of the apples and strawberries.
I still remember seeing an apple tree for the first time – in Canada.
So you can imagine I’m very exciting for apple picking early next year.
It amazes me every day how different parts of the same state can be. I love taking photos as a hobby, and am big on nature photos. I took about a million photos at the Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers and went through three film rolls.
I’m so excited for our own garden Annual Spring Garden Competition!
I might have to stock up on film rolls.
My friends constantly joke that I should just bite the bullet and make a flower Instagram.
I really love it when people share their photos of our beautiful region, so if you take any please feel free to share them with us at newsdesk@warwickstanthorpetoday.com.au
