Challenge Apple Day





Hi again from Loriendale, the apple-orchard near Canberra. After my 3 weeks on the farm in January I came back 2 weeks ago to help for the Apple Day which took place last Saturday.
We worked quite a lot and I'm an expert now in picking apples and peeling and cutting an apple in 10 seconds... ! On Apple Day, Owen sold a lot of different varieties of apples, pears, jams and the famous apple pies (on the picture it's Lauren, one daughter with a fresh cooked apple pie). There was a bbq and coffee, muffins and scones as well and we made apple juice with an old press in the garage.
The two weeks were a little bit hard, we were busy 16h a day, but I earned a lot of money =)!

After Apple Day, we all went to the Canberra Stadium and watched the Rugby Game between The Brumbies (team from Canberra) against a team from South Africa. It was really fun, but I'm not sure if I got all the rules... .
Today is the last day in this part of Australia, I'll fly to Perth this evening. So perhaps I can already post some underwater pictures the next time!!
