Stanthorpe Apple & Grape Harvest Festival.
Written by Desmond on April 21, 2008 – 1:35 pm -This is a very late post, it suppose to be up here since last month. Well as you know, I’m kind of lazy busy to update lately.
My University organized this trip to this place called Stanthorpe on 8th of March. There was a festival held named Apple & Grape Harvest Festival. Stacy, KahPeng, Benjamin, Kodomo and I were there together.
It was actually an event organized by the Queensland government to attract visitors and boost economy. If you wish to know more, google it regarding this, is not my style of posting and free advertising everything like someone do. Perhaps, I’m giving an excuse for my laziness. =P
This place is known as one of the highest spot in Queensland and because of that, this place even snow during winter at times. The place was really crowded, but it was kinda fun as an experience in Australia because it only held once in every 2 years.
There are some fresh fruit juices, wine and fruits selling.
I bought myself a few fruit flavor alcohol and 1 bottle of honey, it was really tasty and smells really good, utterly different from the honey you can buy it from any of the supermarket.
That was the 3rd time I hold a real gun, before this I fire a revolver and marching with a M-16 Machine gun before.
Personally, I like this photo the most among all the photos I took. This is the first time I’m physically contacted with a future robot. In our conversation, according to that robot, he said that it is the first time he shakes a human being hand as well. (My pleasure then…)
If you think KahPeng is a tall fella, then I can tell you, you are so wrong!
There was a parade marching around the town as well, they are quite interesting.
This is the first time I see a pipe band. They are so cool.
I like it, I enjoy that day, is something that as a foreigner or international students should not miss out. Don’t miss out this event next time when you have the same opportunity.
