The irritating yet fun part of the exercise

[ksmith]

Planning the post-fight/fleeing/pre-Big Meeting scene in Incident. Decide it takes place near a coffee plantation. Need terrain/climate descriptions, maybe 2-3 lines. Spend an hour or so over two days Googling coffee plantations. For 2-3 lines.

Well, you can pretty much put you story where you like it (ObAnnaRussell) as coffee is pretty adaptable, growing in a wide variety of tropical climate zones (as grapes do, here in temperate areas).

Yeah, but I wanted pictures, because pictures make it easier. And some place different from other places I've described. And some sort of internal consistency between the terrain and the place and the people who come from there.

Because this is Victoria, Niall Pierce's homeworld, and while we don't meet Niall, I wanted to give him the right place. And because choices made in haste will always come back to haunt you later (Writers Rule #432).

And because I had no frellin' clue...

I figured as much, but couldn't resist tossing my two cents in.

And this is odd...why?

*sigh*

I know. I lost my head there for a minute...

Well, you had a point. But Niall is pseudo-Aussie, and I wanted to know if they grow coffee in an Australia-like place. Which they do, in Queensland.

And Victoria is like Australia...except that it isn't really but you know...
