Woolies are quite strict on their suppliers quality, though Rusty's is probably a bit cheaper, especially toward pack-up time when the best stuff has already been bought.

Having to park three or four blocks away, has always been the biggest turn off for me.



You need to get there earlier mate, you can say “hi” to me and @28 at 06:00 on a Friday morning....
Also there is a reason why most shopping centres have a successful green grocer out the front of coles or woolies, the biggies fruit and veg are crap.

I've found Coles Mareeba to be pretty good. Terrible 10 years ago but transformed. Quality is generally very good. They sell local avocados as well. Woollies is at Atherton but rarely get over there.

I'm generally at Rusty's by 5.15am. That means overnight & waking at 4am. Had enough of that, finally. What started me going early was Pena's chillies selling out too fast. And the parking, choose your spot. 😁

Now I have my own chillies growing, along with a couple pawpaws. They are loving these whole days of overcast and continuing drizzle. So am I. Been quite cool at night about 23 degrees.

The creek has been up & raging. Badly needed.

This drizzly weather this year is the first I've experienced in my ten years living here.
