There's a little side-street in Bright, Vic (similar climate to Daylesford) planted with towering bunyas, and the local council has gotten round its fears of litigation by putting up signs outlining the heaviness of the nuts and warning people that they park their cars and generally loiter along the street at their own risk.<br />Alexis, Baron von Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675225579658733004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068486315338288419.post-71075855768812999182014-02-21T10:10:03.705+11:002014-02-21T10:10:03.705+11:00thank you anon, we too are amazed just how generou...thank you anon, we too are amazed just how generous people are to cycle tourists. we have made some lovely connections and we look forward to being hosts when we return home. glad you are enjoying the posts.Artist as Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000057566127487240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068486315338288419.post-67711560310790690562014-02-21T10:01:36.711+11:002014-02-21T10:01:36.711+11:00hey, thanks alexis. great tip! and we enjoyed read...hey, thanks alexis. great tip! and we enjoyed reading your post on bunyas on your blog. your father-out-law sounds like a ripper. <br /><br />as community gardeners we planted 2 bunya pines in one of our public parks in very cold and sometimes snowy daylesford (central vic). council asked us to remove one of them because of fear of being sued in about 70 years if a nut was to take someone out when it fell. funny, most governments only think in the short term.Artist as Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01000057566127487240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068486315338288419.post-90549056602736856412014-02-19T22:36:01.149+11:002014-02-19T22:36:01.149+11:00This entry reminded me of my trip with 2 friends w...This entry reminded me of my trip with 2 friends where we cycled from London to Edinburgh in 1980 when I was 21. Looking for free campsites and the hospitality of complete strangers. I remember camping in churchyards in the cemeteries and in the backyards of country pubs just to name a few. Lots of people offered a campsite/bed/meal/shower and sometimes all 4 - lucky us. Anyway I am enjoying your travel tales - stay safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068486315338288419.post-40634458682353065802014-02-19T22:21:10.544+11:002014-02-19T22:21:10.544+11:00Hey ho, if you're still in the 'Castle and...Hey ho, if you're still in the 'Castle and headed north, you might be interested to read that a couple of weeks ago when I was visiting, the numerous bunya pines in Boomerang Park in Raymond Terrace were still dropping bunya nuts. They might have all been snaffled by the cockatoos by now (not to mention by my father-out-law, who scored about 20kg of them), but if you're in the hood anyway, and you have bunya cooking facilities, possibly worth looking into.Alexis, Baron von Harlothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675225579658733004noreply@blogger.com
