Lorriendale Orchard Apple Day

The sunny weather brought hoards of people (including us) to the 22nd Annual Apple Day at Lorriendale Orchard a short drive from Hall, just north of Canberra.

The orchard grows some 120 varieties of apples and they were available to try in a tasting tent (they were a bit stingy with the amounts they gave you) and also from stalls offering assorted pies, crepes and delicious freshly pressed apple juice squeezed from an old fashioned wooden press.

The kids enjoyed it and we took home an apple pie along with two big bags of Cox's Orange Pippin and a litre of delicious apple juice. We made short work of the apple pie when we got home.

What looked like an old fashioned tractor (but turned out to be a working tractor - Audrey got the engine turning over!)
