For many years my family has regularly been travelling to a Citrus Orchard called :Golden Grove" to purchase of oranges & mandarins. Golden Grove Citrus Orchard is located 14km along the Chittering Road, north-east from Bullsbrook off Great Northern Highway, 60km from Perth. The Orchard is situated amidst the undulating hills of the Chittering Valley, where high quality citrus is grown. It consists of over 13,000 trees, containing three varieties of Summer oranges(Valencia). During the Winter and Spring (peak season for citrus harvest) there are six varieties of Navel oranges including a Red flesh navel. Other citrus varieties include Lemons, Limes, Grapefruit (Red flesh) and we still grow white flesh grapefruit and the most popular crop Mandarins (several varieties). These crops are only available in Winter and Spring - June to October in Western Australia. There is always a sample of fruit and our freshly squeezed orange juice available for tasting prior to sale. Devonshire Teas (tea or coffee with scones, cream and jam) and other snacks are provided in the old restored packing shed on weekends from April to November. Another feature includes our enclosed barbecue area, suitable for group gatherings and functions, which can also be used for individuals eating area. NO ADMISSION FEE TO THE ORCHARD. The Orchard is open seven days a week for fruit and other local product sales. I do not own the music in this video and no ownership rights are claimed. Music is by Mike Oldfield -- Excerpt from the Album: "OMMADAWN".

Thanks for your story about the Bubble Family. lol.

baby bubble gets up and sneaks into mum and dads bed...but he's going to wake them up as there's no room. so he lets a bit of air out of himself. snuggles in but still too tight..so he lets a bit out of mum, and a bit of air out of dad and just snuggles down for the night. In the morning his dad goes mad as he has'n't slept in his own bed...turns on baby bubble and says..you've let me down, you've let your mum down and worse you've let yourself down!......

HEY ED, how cool to buy your oranges locally..i'd have to get on a plane to do that! Great choice in music again by the way :) Nice to see your better half Robin...bonny lass:) Got a new joke for you - you seem to be lacking in joke fodder there in Oz. family of bubbles...mum, dad and son bubble all living happily...Dad bubble decices son should sleep on his own for once, so off he goes to his own bed where he doesn't get in the way. in the middle of the night ........

In answer to your question Stevie, Golden Grove has had the same owners for 30 years. It is a Italian family that owns it. They have tried to sell the place many times over the years but they cannot get the money they want. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

hasn't changed in 30 years wow are they the same owners , good to see an appearance by beryl , :)

Superhorse those third kind guys probably stop off here for their oranges.. I liked the video that is some real nice place.. Tell me which lav would beryl use i wonder Mangoes Or No Mangoes??.. and yes she /he mentions bist stuck in the teeth what about all that hair caught up in the orange lol.. Spot on Video.. Hey i liked the hat too VB hat where did you get that hat?? hehehe

As Beryl's wig deteriorates, she is looking more and more feral. hahaha Cheers mate, VB Ed.

Thanks for watching & commenting. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

nothing like getting fruit and veg straight from the farmer. Geez Ed every time i see Beryl she looks more and more like a feral every time she almost put me off drinking my orange juice LOL

That spot in the country - Golden Grove, with its radio telescope, would be an excellent place for a Close Encounter of the 3rd Kind.Cheers mate, VB Ed.

That Orange that ran out of juice joke is so old. It was probably the first jioke I ever heard & remember from childhood. lol. Cheers, VB Ed.

I don't mind buying direct from the farm as long as the extra money goes straight into the pocket of the farmer and not a supermarket chain.... I was thinking about doing a lemon sucking scene involving Beryl. At the last moment, I switched to a orange. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

Thanks mate. Thanks for watching & commenting. Cheers, VB Ed.

I guess heaven would be a picturesque rural scene with various fruit growing on trees. Thanks for watching & commenting. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

The climate in California would be very similar to that in Perth. Long hot summers with a short wet winter. Cheers, VB Ed.

I couldn't do a straight documentary without Beryl wanting to stick her one minute of fame in it somewhere. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

Orange eating would be one of many eating fetishes that Beryl would have. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

Most of the rain falls in Perth from May - August. I guess the rainfall in the UK would fall more evenly throughout the year. That radio telescope that those amateur guys built sure would have cost alot of money. Cheers mate, VB Ed.

now that a sweet place ps ET is watching you L.O.L

I understand your frustration about jerks who think it is OK to nick the oranges on your tree. Last year some jerk took all the grapes that were growing on my grape vine. Cheers, VB Ed.
