Bee transport

I transported a hive of Tetragonula hockingsi native bees to Home Hill.

The bees spent five days confined by insect screen in their hive and they coped well.

Tetragonula hockingsi are native to coastal Queensland - they fly at temperatures above 20 degrees Celsius.

The Bowen Mango

The Bowen mango was always the best eating mango when I was a child. Now the cultivar is called Kensington Pride.

Local controversy is the way this giant mango is displayed - it is upside down compared to the way mangoes hang on the tree.

Giraffes and Rockets

Bororen also claims to have a big giraffe but maybe it is just a normal size for a giraffe. It is next door to the Red Rocket Diner which does not make a claim to being big.

Big Record Store

In Bororen there are a lot of big things for such a small place.
