That is our first experience as willing workers on organic farm.
What? in practice, we bought a book in which we can choose between 1600 host farms across Australia where, in exchange for 4 / 6 hours a day we have the right to food and accommodation.
Having failed to find any kind of work we opted for this solution in order to be able to at least save the money we put aside.
The past five days we were on a farm on the west coast of Tasmania where we have performed our duties: cleaning up the estate (huge) with the final Erica (weed), free from internal strda stones, preparing the bed for planting olive trees, remove parts of a special and then having to replant grass and then canned apples and brush the dog!
And ... we have shared accommodation with two French girls in a lovely rusty metal shed full of spiders ... HUGE AND POISONOUS, promptly killed in sex between shouting and swearing in all languages.
course for the first three days we had no water ... even to the toilet. It was up to 'one man's house to fetch water from the well (very dirty) and reload the toilet, while we used to drink a bottle of drinking water.
Positive side of a small company pleasing orphan Wombat.
downside: snakes, spiders and the male owner who, after the departure of the only known male has dismissed by saying that the girls are not able to work without the supervision of Simo!
Tomorrow we start somewhere else ... When updating you in ten days if returned to Devonport (from where we are writing now) the Internet and cell phone will work!
