Farm fresh a hit
Take your pick: Brianna and Jake Dempster shop for local fruits.

"We have been getting really good feedback from farmers, consumers and visitors to the region," co-ordinator Imeea Svanosio said.
The market sells locally grown, tropical produce from Cooktown in the north to Cardwell in the south and Chillagoe to the west of Cairns.
It is one of several popular markets in the Cairns region. Other regular markets include Rusty's in Cairns city, the Cairns Esplanade craft markets, Cairns city night markets and Port Douglas Sunday markets.
