Description
Most people will have no reason to drive down this road, but those that do might be started to discover a strange new plant species. A genetically modified fruit which is highly resistant to the common fruit fly and also unattractive to bats
I am fairly sure the fruit is not edible but at least you might get a laugh from this genetic oddity

Today my mission was to find both a GC and a GCA cache in the Boulia LGA area. I enlisted TG47 as my chauffeur and we headed south across the "border " from Mt Isa. It was decided to head straight for the nearest GC cache as we could then park next to GZ for the 2 GCA caches.
I wasn't sure if I would be able to find this one easily but how stupid of me. It is a large! Congratulations on placing one this size out here. The cache was well covered and in excellent condition.
The log now carries my name. Unfortunately in my excitement of having a new Dragonzone, I forgot to sign for TG47. He is not perturbed about that as he is often more a muggle than a cacher.

Here today to check on the cache. Unfortunately someone has picked all the fruit!!! The tree is now completely bare which is a pity.
Found with MalDawg while he was checking on the cache.
