Trip to Mackay - last day

On the last day, after preparing "bekal" for 4 hours journey, we left the motel at 10 am. From Mackay, we stopped at Salonika beach.

Then stopped at Sarina Sugar Shed to join a tour (sugar mill). For the family ticket (2 adults, 2 kids), we have paid AUD35 for one family. Luckily, Aaqilah was free (under 4 yrs). At the end of the tour, dpt try sugar cane juice (air tebu) yg fresh tanpa gula. Namanya sugar cane, jadi rasanya sgt2 manis. For children, they got free sugar floss (gula "lei"), tapi x brp suka.

Taste time! Very2 sweet air tebu ni!
Tour guide ni tunjuk air tebu yg diproses pd first time (hitam-campur dgn tanah n kotoran) with another process (cerah) sblm menjadi gula. Last2 jadi warna putih kristal.
Apa ni mama?
Awal2 tu masing2 tgk jer, sbb tak tahu nak makan.
