I can only hope that it will ripen before I go to Tasmania to see my family and mates and attend ANZAC Day services. If it isn't ripe by the time I leave. I am sure that Kay will do the honours and keep taking the pics every 5 days until it is ripe.

At this stage it doesn't look much nigger really. But I suppose it is doing its bit to develop properly. It is taking a long time to develop and my patience is getting thin. I suppose that while I'm in Tassie it will explode with nutrients and finish the job to produce its fruit. Just my luck.
Still nothing has happened of note!!! Kay took a photo while I was away and I was really disappointed that the fruit hasn't developed as I had hoped. Maybe its the cooler weather impeding its development.

The fruit is starting to "stretch out" a bit. Note the growth behind. That is the red Dragon Fruit on the other side of the C.A.T.B. Maybe we will get some fruit from there next year.

Definitely beginning to look like the real thing. The "dragon scales" are shrinking a bit and I assume they are feeding the fruit towards the final tasty item. The growth at the back is getting bigger so that plant must also be quite healthy.

The dead flower spoils this shot, but it is securely anchored to the fruit and I didn't want to force it off. I suppose it will drop off when the time is right. Missed the back growth in this photo. I must remember to make sure its in the next one.
This whole thing is becoming an epic!! Its almost as huge as a Norse Saga!!! I honestly didn't think that it would take this long to mature, but anyhow, I will keep going to the very end when I can pick the fruit.
Keep watching for the (hopefully) final episode in this saga.
