Persimmon Picking enjoy at the at the farm.
- 🍊 Persimmon Picking in Australia
Australia grows two main types of persimmons:
Astringent: Must be fully ripe and soft before eating. - Non-astringent: Can be enjoyed while still firm, like an apple — this is the variety our group will be picking.
- You’re welcome to bring a cutting bench from home to make harvesting easier.
- Health Benefits of Persimmons
Rich in Vitamins: High in vitamin A (supports eye health), vitamin C (boosts immunity), and vitamin E (protects skin and cells).
Heart-Friendly: Packed with fibre, antioxidants, and potassium — great for lowering blood pressure and cholesterol. - Low in Calories: A light, nutritious snack, ideal for anyone watching their weight.

The village’s cool-climate gardens burst into vibrant shades of red, orange, yellow, and deep purple, making it a photographer’s dream and a peaceful escape.
