Finally.... a PC with internet connection. I don't have much time. 15 minutes for 2 bucks.
Sounds expensive right? Actually not really.
I have a ton of things to say actually. But for now a status update.
I'm in Tumba Rumba, a small (think Serian) town not far from Sydney. Yeah, we travel a long way. That's the life of the contract farm worker. We go where the work is. For now it's apples in Batlow, another small town in the highlands. Nice place.
Over the last few days, I've been to places not many people see. It's gorgeous out here in the countryside. Not unlike living in a postcard.
We stayed at Wood Wood for a few days, not far from the place where out train from Melbourne stopped at Swan Hill. Two days ago, our super scored a deal with Batlow apples to do thinning. 2 bucks per tree. I've done 100+ over the last 2 days.
The heat? What heat? Cold we got plenty of that. A ton of people have been telling me to watch out for the hear but seriously, it's got nothing on the heat we get back home.
Anyway, I've lots more to tell actually. It's ok so far but there are some things I'm not very happy about. Nothing to do with Oz or anything like that. The guy who fixed us up in Kuching left out a lot of details about working in Oz. A LOT of details. Made adjusting very hard.
Still, I'm here and I'm going to try and update as much as possible
Until then please take care and have a good summer.
Cheers.
