A week in an Orange and Cherries
I have officially made it to third year! yeay! I spent my time kinda celebrating/relaxing in Orange for a week doing the Horse Course which is now run by CSU and as a result have uppity the price compared to previous years.
The week was jam packed full of horse handling and we were all buggered by the end of each day. Orange is a nice town and i have concluded that one of the two important things there are Cherries (provided you go at this time).
Arriving on Sunday afternoon to our shoe box cabin, we went to Mount Canobalas to oogle at the views. Pretty neat stuff, its a 360 degree view with some radio towers in your way. Becasue of the exceptional reception, it provided us a chance to call our mums :p
We couldnt help ourselves but to help ourselves :$
Wine tasting is a pretty fun experience. Especially if you go with friends who dont normally drink, so bring me! My understanding of wines is that they are very strong in smell, flavour and alcohol. Ive only ever had tasted red wine once because Sangria doesnt count. We tried three wines: Wine Makers Daughter, Cabernet Sauvignon 'Opus' and Cherry Liqueur. I bought their two bottles of their specialty for a gift for T and one for myself for when i can handle the strength better.
Views outside
The tasting facilities seconded as an art gallery with pieces going for a good $200 minimum. It also had views of the mountains and land below.
On the way home to Sydney, we picked up a box of Cherries at $5 a kilo. Bargain!!!!! Before i left Sydney, the cheapest i saw them in the super markets were $12 a kilo and the asian grocery stores were at $8 a kilo. It came in a 5kg box and as much as i would love to sit here all day and eat it, 5 kgs is a bit too much. Some of the girls we know got one box and split it among 5, but a split among 3 is good enough for me.

On the way down the mountain A took us to Borrodell on the Mt. A has been to Orange before and has made a trip to purchase Cherry Wines for her family and friends in Sydney. Just on the outskirts of Orange, there are lots of vineyards and orchards and the green life looks rather odd among the rest of the dry and lifeless land. Nonetheless i couldnt resist myself to taking a picture of the juicy cherries on the tree.

Glad you're back in Sydney, buy many Cherries and forget about animals for... 2 days. Then go back to loving them :D

naturally like your web-site however you need to check the spelling on quite a few of your
posts. Several of them are rife with spelling issues and I to find it very bothersome
to tell the reality nevertheless I'll surely come again again.
