Hi Cybergran
The picture I submit is that of The Apple Museum on the Grove Straight a few mile north of home
As can be seen on the shed door, the Huon Valley was once known as the Apple Valley
Apple orchids spread from one end of it to the other
Now only a few orchards remain
Where once this industry employed hundred, few are employed these days - back then, I even picked and packed
Many memories of working with Dad and other friends in the orchards are but memories
The fruit ships into Port Huon
The trucks taking apples to the port in Hobart
All these I remember - now most of the sheds have been pulled down - this one converted to a museum/restaurant
No more apple blossom spread throughout the Valley
Sad but true
THANKS for the memories
Cheers OldSaint
