Today was the day when we decided to see more of Victoria. So being the raspberry fans we are, the Raspberry Fair up near Pheasant Creek seemed a good choice of destinations. Pheasant Creek is roughly 60 mins north of Melbourne up in the Kinglake region.

The main attraction of the day is the “pick your own raspberries” event. Unfortunately due to drought, the berries had ripened earlier than usual resulting in the “slim pickings” sign. We managed to scavenge a few remaining from the vines, however the main entertainment was watching some kid have a temper tantrum because he couldn’t find any and his mother threatening to leave him behind. At this point, we gave up, ate the raspberries we had found (oops, I think we were suppose to pay for them!) and had a raspberry icecream which was delicious.

Slim Pickings

Overall the day was a lot of fun. Air-conditioning in the car would have made it more fun, but that’s the price you have to pay for owning a Barina :S
