Lovely day down here today I might get out for a plink and enjoy it...

Bunyip i had a look back at the local history last night and am not sure about Blenners actually being used for dairy..though it adjoins the original Cutten Brothers pioneer red soil blocks around Bingle bay and Clump point..They grew coffee, tea, mangoes, pineapples amongst other stuff starting in the late 1800's before being totally wiped out in the 1918 cyclone and the start of WW1...

Interestingly the first seedlings for the Nerada tea plantation came from remenants of the abandoned tea plants around Bingle bay in the 1950's..I also read the Cuttens had 80000 coffee plants just north at mourylian harbour as well..There are still plenty of the original mango trees around the place down there as well and still bearing..

I bookmarked a few things to read later on..I couldnt stop reading last night once I started.lol...sorry to bore anyone with some old timer history...just incredible folk these pioneers up here back in the day..i imagine it was much the same up Daintree way and with tin and gold mining back in the hills a bit as well... it must have been a real wild place at times.....Life these days seems very tame and easy for us these days...
