It has taken David Pickering about 40 years to find cider-specific apple varieties. He's working with the NSW DPI to make sure the trees outlive him.

Key points:

The vast majority of cider makers use table apples because alternative varieties are difficult to findUpon his return to New South Wales, he was shocked to learn that few makers used cider-specific apple varieties and instead relied on the popular Pink Lady, Granny Smith or Gala apples not best suited for the process.

Mr Pickering has been on a decades-long search to find European apple species that are not particularly palatable to eat, but, because of their balance between acidity and sugar, are perfect to create the alcoholic drink. The DPI Temperate Fruits team began growing the apple trees in 2019 and is now ready to begin a breeding program.

Greens call on the Governor General to explain exclusion of Morrison’s ministries from diaryThe Greens are calling on Governor General David Hurley to explain the exclusion of Scott Morrison's ministries from his diary. Despite references to the swearing-in of other ministers and other meetings with Morrison - the four dates the Governor General gave the former prime minister the extra powers contain no acknowledgement to any meetings. Good, he should be held accountable and questioned over what happened. Last time I checked the GG wasn't answerable to the Greens, in fact no one is 😂 I thought leave the GG out of ScoMo's captain calls & brain fades but this needs an explanation. Yes, please explain GG. abcnews
