Day 55, Tuesday, March 7 , 2006 They can grow almost anything in Queensland, we’ve seen corn, cotton, sugar cane, bananas (shown here), coffee, and pineapples plus various citrus fruits. The town of Mareeba is the site of the Coffee Works, a coffee processing plant where they produce several blends of Australian coffee. The tour takes you through the entire process from how the “cherries” are harvested to roasting the beans, which determines the strength, hence the brand of coffee. This tree won’t be harvested until all of the cherries are a deep red colour. We booked into a nice B&B in Cairns, dropped off our car and made arrangements to visit the Great Barrier Reef tomorrow.
