| By early November, the flowers have developed into ripe red cherries. | White flesh cherries (variety = Vega) have a unique taste and appearance.As Kath and Kim would say "They're noice. They're different!" |

| Picking cherries under the permanent netting is easy - and even when it is 38c, it is much cooler in the Orchard. |
Some of the other beautiful flowers in the gardens at Stella Creek. These wild irises line the driveway. |

| The best way to eat cherries after a long day of picking: on a cheese platter with a lovely bottle of Sieber Road Shiraz! |
Followed by a relaxing paddle in the Stella Creek "big" dam. |
