When your Pomegranate packing is on point you get to enjoy them in the sun on your days off, something we never took for granted was the continues supply of fresh fruit we had in the hostel. Benefits of working on fruit farms

The Grampians, Stopover Hostel Easter Road Trip |  March 2016

Day 1 of my farm work... Layered up to keep the flies away but boy it was a hot one! 

The majority of the hostel were confirmed time off over the easter break where we decided to take a road trip to The Grampians, was so great to escape from Mildura and the constant farm work life. One of the best things about doing farm work is knowing that your all in it together. That everyones been at that stage where you have only been there 3 weeks and someone else only has 3 weeks to go... but you do get there and you meet amazing people along the way! 

Mark was lucky enough get a great farm job where he was working as a farm hand on one specific farm allowing him to be given more responsibility, driving the tractors around!! Still hard work but on an hourly wage Sparky was able to build a good relationship with the farmer and enjoy the last few months of his farm work. At this point I was continuing to work at a variety of farms which were eventually hourly wages though sadly didn’t have the comfort of one set farm where I could prove my ability and be given more responsibility.... though as the saying goes... that’s just the way the cookie crumbles!!

Working majority for the time per piece getting 90c per bucket for grape picking or 25dollars a bin (BIG BIN) for oranges. The first couple of weeks/month making money wasn’t really your focus, having enough food to eat for the week and getting that extra day signed off was what all that hard work was for.

Mark and I loved every moment in Melbourne, it’s such an incredible city with so much going on always new events or cafe’s to check out! and the creativity in the city was so inspiring. Though the time came where we had to pack up and leave the awesome city onto our next adventure where we had to complete 4 months (88 days) of farm work. After being scammed by a mushroom farm we managed to secure ourselves a place in a working hostel in Mildura. Let the new adventure begin!!

Experience Australia day for all its worth going to see Fat Boy Slim in St Kilda, Melbourne. Cracking day for it!!

Start of January 2016 brought our good friend Sophie to Melbourne, after meeting in Fiji and staying in contact we got to show her around our new fav city...(even though she preferred Sydney) Andy Warhol Exhibition | National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (at National Gallery of Victoria)

Cute flashback to start the return of our blog, New Year 2016... before I smashed my phone and lost majority of our Melbourne pictures | Falls Festival, Geelong ✨
