Hello again peeps! Darren and Kerry again here on our rambling blog! Well we've had a pretty cool and relaxed couple of days to be honest. We left Canberra on the day that you read our last update and it tipped it down with rain again that afternoon so we stayed in a rest area just off the highway and slept in our car as we didn't fancy getting soaked in the tent.

We've been given our 'joey' bags which strap around our necks and today I did some practice driving on the tractor that i'll be driving around the orchard.
