The cherry association of Australia is promoting the healthy lovely aspects of cherries and the aussie summer obsession with everything cherry. Here is the event guide for local cherry seasonal events near you – including cherry spitting competitions and cherry picking and more – the cherry growers website also has a few recipes - and there is a chance to win an ipod. I was offered a box of cherries to help with my summer celebrations – but because I am away on hols I couldn’t take them up on the offer – but I will be eating cherries where I am going anyway – and will no doubt be visiting a cherry farm to pick our own – the kids love doing that – you should try it with your kids if you can.
