Way to go Billy-o

What a stinker of a day!

It's been a while since last update, sorry for that, but as far as you are in the legendary Outback (countryside in Oz) you are not covered by the network all the time. In my case I have it only weekends and rarely during the week. Good excuse, huh? :D

Four days ago I left Sydney, the opera house, Harbour Bridge and awesome street market food and headed straight west from sydney about 360km to Eugovra (say "igoora") farm called Kaloola, run by local farmer Murray who employes backpackers on a regular basis to do variety of hands-on farmwork in change of accommodation and food (prepared by yourself). Well, some could say the cottage where backpackers live is not the cleanest one, but at least it's warm.

Only three days worked I've had a chance to try my hands on mustering lambs, crusting, welding, help with horses, fencing, driving a tractor, 4wd and quadbike. The work is always more or less dirty, but with appropriate clothing it's just fine. However, I came here to gain experience so it doesn't matter :) If you want to know more about the farm, you can find it on website mylandra.com By the way, local farms are HUGE.

Mornings are still cold but as soon as the sun rises it gets hot enough to wear just a t-shirt. Unfortunately sometimes you have to wear more than that if you don't want to get very dirty. But soon it will be spring and weather is going to be somethng between hot and boiling.  Pictures soon!
