Wild place indeed mate. Most of the time I just tried not to think of what could be living inside the banannas I just picked. Much more useful trying to watch where you put your feet, More freakin' snakes than I ever knew existed. The really deadly ones don't generally climb trees, supposedly, and with all the leaf litter on the ground you just never know what you're going to step on. That and the fact that the bunches of banannas weighed between 60 and 100 kilos and it can be an interesting job. Hell, we had several of Queensland's rugby team picking for a couple months in their off season just to get in shape.

Queensland's got to be one of the top places on the planet. Didn't spend a lot of time on the sunshine coast, Noosa for a few days, Frasier Island, and then on north. Wild and wooly in the FNQ. Still not sure how I got out with all my teeth intact with my smart mouth. Truth is though, not all that different from Idaho as far as the people go, when you hear the banjos start to play keep your back to a wall.
