Australian Outback and Banana Plantation

I had lunch at a cattle ranch in the outback. Steak, salad, tea, and fruit salad. Yum!

I also got to hold a joey (baby kangaroo). I guess these people were bring it up to be their pet. Kind of crazy if you ask me...I'd rather have a dog. The joey was cute but it's claws scared me a bit because they were pretty big.

I then went to a banana plantation. I was given a quick synopsis of how bananas are grown and harvested...it sounded like it was really labor intensive. I then went and drank a freshly made banana smoothie and toured the gift shop to browse the selection of products from the plantation. I found chocolate macadamia nut spread and it sounded pretty good so I bought a few jars for my family.
