Autumn in Nelson; scratting for acorns under some interesting colourful oaks.
Dick Roberts leads another tour party off into the plantings of Todds Bush - an oasis of care in a wilderness of once cleared land, which when neglected, became scrub and weed infested.
Olives at Frogs End - one plantation for an infant industry in New Zealand.
One day our field-trip coaches stopped for lunch at picturesque Jacaranda Park.
At De Grays, Acer saccharum autumn colours are spectacular in a young sugar maple trial.
Tea at Dan Hamiltons - to look at! Grown for processing locally into Japanese green tea.
This is Nelson, typified. Actually an apple trial for Waimea Nurseries at Simpsons.
Macadamias growing on an urban slope; we also viewed on-site processing machinery here at Frys.
Just a few acres of Appletons tree nurseries. A bed of young Quercus rubra show their autumnal red.
Tucking into a reviving barbeque meal, one evening at the Tahunanui conference venue.
That's all for now folks !
