Batlow's Big Things

Yesterday a big trout, today a big apple - and a bonus!

The small NSW town of Batlow has three big apples, but we only found one. This is the big apple in the middle in a field just north of Batlow. It used to be surrounded by an orchard, but the trees were burnt in the big bushfire of 2019/2020. To be honest, to me it looks like an oversized tomato.


We were expecting a big apple - it's inevitable that a small town producing 10% of a country's apples will have a big one. What we weren't expecting was a Big Apple Peeler. Carved in 2004 this is much more artistic, carved from a piece of cypress pine with a chainsaw by Viktor Cebergs.
