G'day again
Aha!!...you are somewhere closeby!!
Presume picking would start earlier here, I'm only familiar with
CentWest NSW as far as pears/apples/cherries go. Sorry I can't be more
specific for this area but it sounds like you've picked them at the
right time if they are a good size, taste good and you got them before
the bats. Some varieties need really cold weather so maybe you have one
of the new ones.
