Apple picking at Bilpin

This trip was supposed to be steam train rides, apple picking was a do-if-we-have-time event. Apple-picking became the main event when we arrived at the zig-zag railway and found it closed due to unexpected maintenance. What a disappointment! Thank goodness for apples to cheer us up. The day was beautifully sunny. Driving up the Bell Line of road was lovely. We heard the distinctive high-pitch ringing sound the Bell birds made when we wound our windows down. Being Easter Saturday, there was a small traffic jam at Richmond. We managed to stop at Fruti Tutti for lunch and ice-cream but due to time constrain, drove right past Mt Tomah national park. The Fuji and Pink lady apples we picked were nice, Sam had 3 and didnt have much for dinner afterwards. There are also plums/apricots to pick if we go at the right time.
