I am making money! Like i said last time iv found a job on a farm and have been out in the fields for the past 3 days.
Day 1 - Was picking sweet potatoes and then planting the vines for next years crop and i have to say it was VERY hard on the back. On the up side i met a nice Scottish guy from Edinburgh who was giving me advice about pubs in Aberdeen.
Day 2 - New farm where they grow Macadamea (spelling?) nuts and this time i was on the back of a trailer handing small trees to planting machine for 8 hours. Not as hard but very dull. Working for 5 straight hours from 6:30am wasnt too fun either...
Day 3 - Same as day 2 but even more dull...
What im trying to say is work is rubbish and no fun at all, on the up side though it is putting money into my OZ bank account and thats reall the only thing that keeps me going. Today (Saturday) im having a half day of working at the sweet potatoe place but then tomorrow im taking a day off. Will be great tomorrow as the plan is to meet up with one of Mum's old college friends and go to her house for the day, then in the evening i may be going to see new born Turtles head for the sea at a nearby Nature park. Looking forward to tomorrow but have to suffer work first.
So far my long term plan extends as far as next week: stay in Bundaberg working untill Tuesday and then movce on to Frazor Island to do a self drive tour for 2/3 days, REALLY looking forward to that, and then make more decisions about the rest later.
