Some yummy bananas for you. The stall and farm were near Garradunga, North Queensland. They were selling for about $1.50/kilo. After each of the cyclones over the last 10 year the price could reach $15-20/kilo in the cities. The northern farms got wiped out while southern farmers became very rich.

I am not sure the variety. I think they are most likely Williams and not Cavendish.

The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
