Following on from my previous post I am sharing some of the many images I snapped as we drove through The Pilliga today.

Our excursion away from the resort this afternoon took us to the Dole Plantation (with a couple of detours to more than one Ross Store) with one of our descendants and her family.
Although we had been to Hawaii on several occasions we had never bothered to visit this site. It was much better than I anticipated, we enjoyed a train ride through the plantation on the Pineapple Express and a walk through the lovely gardens. At the end of our visit we fortified ourselves with a Dole Pineapple Ice Cream.
