Day11,
On our schedule today was a stop at a sugar cane farm in Mackay
and a crocodile farm in Kuranda. After we left the gorgeous South
Molle Island we got back on
to our coach and made ore way to the
center of the Australian sugarcane industry, Mackay. There we
went on a tour of a sugarcane farm and shown how the cane is
harvested.
While on our tour we were also given some of the delicious cane to
chew on. Once we were finished lunch was provided as we watched
a video on sugar cane
production. Afterward we thanked our hosts
and went to our next stop, the crocodile farm.
This farm also had a unique touring method. Between each course
of our dinner there we were taken out to see some part of the farm.
During a four course
meal, which included aligator chowder, we
were shown the sites. These include a variety of crocodiles, crocodile
nests, and the chance to hold a baby
crocodile. It was fascinaqting
and among other things I learned that crocodile tastes a lot like
chicken.
