We spent the morning in Cairns (and found Robb Street :-)) before heading out to meet Miss Berry’s parents. They live an hour’s drive inland at a place called Mareeba on the Atherton Tablelands, which is farming country. Miss Berry’s father keeps cattle.
On the way we visited de Breuy’s Winery. They make wine from lots of fruits other than grapes including mangoes, passionfruit and lychees. They also make tropical fruit port.
After a cup of tea at the homestead with Miss Berry’s Mum, we drove over the property. As well as keeping cows, the Berry’s run a restaurant called Ringer’s Rest, where people who have been on a balloon ride can stop and have breakfast. A Ringer is the Australian name for someone who rounds up cattle, like an American cowboy.
We headed back to Kuranda for dinner and to see a popular Australian singer, Missy Higgins, in concert. The show was so good we bought her CD.
