History
The Kensington Pride mango (commercially known as Bowen mango for the north Queensland town where it was first grown commercially) was developed in Australia in the 1880s. Bowen, 1,200km north of Brisbane, became Australia's primary mango-growing region by the early 20th century. The Brisbane spring is signalled in October by the first crates of Bowen mangoes arriving at Rocklea wholesale markets. Through Christmas, mangoes appear on every breakfast table and salad bar in Brisbane; the December peak sees sorbet bars, hawker stalls and beach cafes selling sliced mango on a stick or in a cup with chili-lime salt.
