    Geez you know your stuff. You would enjoy the Hinkler Museum at Bundy. They even have his house from England.

    except maybe a short trip up the road to the hummock for some strawberries.

    Actually - a lot has changed in 20 years. There's a woolworths there now. I remember wongarra scenic drive used to be a racetrack after the causeway.... there are houses everywhere there now - I just googled it...

    And rifle range road - many a drag race for decades along there..... including the odd off-duty 'public safety official' in years gone by...

    wow I can't even see the old restaraunt Galleon cave ?? I think it was... friends of mine owned it after it closed in the 90's - did they knock it down?
    Roads?.. Where we're going, we don't need roads...

    Lot of change in Bargara in the eight years since my last visit.
    Bundy has grown too. The rum factory has a much bigger range too, including rum with coffee!

    The same gear is used to cut the cane whether it is burnt or green. Obviously no "trash" if they burn it first and if cut green then a trash blanket is left on the ground. One of the issues of cutting green is that the harvester blades don't last as long.

    Some farmers rake the cane trash into rows after harvesting and burn it. Some leave it on the ground supposedly to protect the soil.
