APPLE, PEAR AND GRAPE GROWING AREAS
The apple, pear and grape growing areas of Australia are coloured red
on the map. In the east they extend from southern Queensland through New
South Wales to Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia. In the west, apples,
pears and grapes grow in the temperate south-west of Western Australia. In
the sub-tropical districts (give latitude for children to find on map) the fruit-
growing sections concerned are located at altitudes that offset the latitude.
In every state of Australia there are conditions of soil, rainfall and climate well
suited for the successful growth of apples, pears and grapes of fine quality, delicious
flavour and high nutritive value.
