Report from organiser Marg Sandefur, Program Sub-committee.

Our trip to Sandy Creek Olive and Finger lime farm was great. We had a wonderful sunny afternoon and Elizabeth and Mervyn Dorrough took us for a lovely walk through the olive trees, explaining the different types of olives and the blending of oils.

We tasted 4 different oil blends and were able to purchase some to take home. We also walked through the finger lime plantation and picked limes fresh off the trees.

Mervyn was a wealth of knowledge and passed on lots of information about growing and preparing olives. Elizabeth prepared a delicious afternoon tea of cakes cooked with olive oil and finger limes.

It was a popular one off outing. Fourteen U3A members attended and there was another eleven on the waiting list that would love to attend any future visit.
