End of cherry picking for now

So we stayed in young a few days after picking because we awoke the following morning to Stuart shouting that we all had to get up and pick a few lugs for his son to make a few dollars. I thought sure this won’t take anytime at all, little did I know that the few lugs had to be spot picked (spot picked is when you strip a tree of the cherries but don’t put any bad cherries, this take at least an hour or more to fill a lug) today was going to be a long day. We picked about three or so that day, this meant we had to stay a day extra, miss our bus to Melbourne. We had a few beers to celebrate the hardest day picking.
On the last day we had a few photos with the last surviving members of the back creek team.
