So we have decided that we are going to go and do our farm work, soon. I want it done before Christmas and in time that we get to enjoy the nice weather and beaches!! So that's the plan! And then we'll have a second year to do, because this Australia place is growing on Conor now! Took him long enough like!
So last weekend we took a drive down to Colac to meet a farmer that we had got in touch with through gumtree. He has a dairy farm and was looking for people to milk and feed calves. The farm was about ten mins outside of the town which was handy and the farmer seemed really nice but it wasn't for us unfortunately! We would have been sleeping in a prefab in the farmyard with our toilet and kitchen in the parlour building across the yard. Also, and more importantly we would have been off everyday from 9 until the next feed at 4, which would have been ok if there was stuff to do or other people around but we were the only backpackers and it was in a pretty remote area so not too much to do during the day! Sounds a bit like a recipe for us going mad or killing each other, so we'll keep looking! But really enjoyed the spin down, was nice to see some proper countryside again!
So we've decided to try get in on the farm that Conor's sister was on, but the farmer is scatty at best so that means calling him constantly to see when we can go down. Of course there is only so long that I am willing to do that for so I'm trying to gather numbers up from other people who have done it and who would recommend the farms they did it on! Because I am not leaving it to chance and ending up farming for Christmas! No Way!!
So any and all updates will follow! Hopefully we'll sort it soon, but until then I can plan my birthday! It is only three weeks away you know! Ha! Most likely will just have everyone over to here for a few drinks and some nibbles and then head out somewhere or other! I'm actually a little excited for it this year and I have no idea as to why considering it's my first away from home! Perhaps that's a good thing though! Anyway for the moment I'm more so trying to organise birthday presents for Joanne and Mam! So that'll keep me busy pre-party! Ha!
So thats all for now folks, heading to the Quiet Man Irish pub tonight for some grub and a few sociable ones so I may do something with my day before that, besides think about the food there! Hmm...
