Thursday Plantation continues to evolve as a producer of high quality natural health care products.

Proof that dedication and integrity pays dividends. Now these people who struggled without electricity etc are now supporting others. Their products are great. A good range of products and some super specials.

Big Prawn

Reviewed By M7025NQtonyw - Sydney, Australia

They really grow the prawns up in the Richmond River and at $35 a kilo for king prawns it’s worth a fortune. Seriously it’s big, it’s gaudy and so typically Australian. It’s brilliant and worth going to Bunnings for.
