We bought a whole bag of custard apples for $2 from a farm stalls (theres all the wooden boxes and the front of property with honesty jars to take a bag of fruit/vegies I'll try to get a picture if I get a chance but they are possibly the best way to buy food!) and this morning one was ripe enough to eat! It was amazingly delicious and it was the final straw that made me fall in love with the area.

The ride today was quite beautiful as we took the back way through little towns called Imbil, Kadanga and Brooloo on our way to Gympie. We have been warned against Gympie and how it really isn't a town that you would consider bicycle friendly so we were a little worried about going there - especially with the big black storm clouds on the horizon!
We opted for the showgrounds tonight with the storms but the showgrounds were closed to camping, we took advice from a few other cyclist and jumped next door to the Wesley Methodist Church to ask if we could set our tent our in their large back yard. Not only did they say yes but one of the church goers said we could go back to hers for the night!!
We spent a lovely night staying at Tertia and Bryan's beautiful home (in one of the best beds I've ever slept in) and met a few more people from the church for bible study. It certainly wasn't the way I thought we would be spending the night but we honestly had one of the best nights out yet and can't be more thankful for their generosity!!
