Default When to pick oranges

Hi

I am in Perth and have a heavily laden navel orange tree, I want to know how
do I know when the fruit is truly ripe.
Last year we picked fruit only to find they looked ripe but were still a bit
sour.
Thanks
Sandra


colour and feel , should be an even colour and of course not like a rock
, then try one some oranges will always be a little tart but table
ripening helps
