During my time in Australia, I spent 3 months working on an amazing farm just 3 hours north of Sydney in order to do my required time of 88 days ‘specified regional’ work, so I can now apply for a 2nd Working Holiday Visa and spend another glorious year in Oz.
May has been a pretty hectic month with a lot of changes and a LOT of spending, spending that was (mostly) unavoidable due to being back in cities and off the farm. We spent the first 9 days of the month finishing up our time at the farm and then, after some tearful goodbyes, we … More Monthly Spending Summary: May ’14
It’s been a while since my last ‘proper’ post. Over the last few months the blog has been filled with ideas and lists and photos, but not so much about what’s really been going on in my life. So I thought I’d try to catch you all up a bit and let you know where … More It’s That Time Of Year Again
So I’m back in Sydney. Wow. How fast did those 3 months go?! It’s insane how quickly it went – honestly it feels like just yesterday we were getting off the train in Taree and arriving at the farm, very excited and a little bit nervous about all the things we’d be doing. And what … More Photo Of The Week: From Farm Life To City Life
So this is my final photo of the week from Honeycomb Valley as we leave in just 2 days (sob!). It’s been a busy week, full of teaching the new WWOOFers everything they need to know about working here – the animals and their feeding schedule, everything to do with the shop, how to take … More Photo Of The Week: Honeycomb At The Beach
Ok so I totally forgot it was Sunday yesterday (aka ‘photo of the week’ day) so this week’s photo is a day late… Oops. I guess that’s just what happens when you live on a farm and it doesn’t really matter what day of the week it is! Anyway, last week was yet another awesome … More Photo Of The Week: Family Fun
So I’m going to go from not posting any animal photos for a while, to posting two in a row for photo of the week! Yesterday we got a lovely surprise by way of a new chicken and her 6 teeny tiny baby chicks! They are absolutely adorable and we’ve even been given the privilege … More Photo Of The Week: A Chick Named Roo
It’s been a while since I’ve posted a photo of me with an animal, and seeing as I live on a farm, I thought it was only natural that this should be this week’s photo! We’ve only got about 2 and a half weeks left here on the farm before we leave and go back … More Photo Of The Week: Animal Love
Do you ever suddenly look up from whatever you’re doing and realise how amazing your life actually is, and how much you sometimes take it for granted? Well this happened to me the other day – I was sat up on the deck at the farm shop, just casually doing some blog writing and other … More Photo Of The Week: Working In Paradise
Farm life has been continuing on pretty smoothly. We’ve had lots of sun. We’ve had lots of rain. And we’ve had lots of laughs and plenty of fun. After Dave and Jules (the other WWOOFers) left last week, it was just the three of us living in our cabin for the last 9 days or … More Photo Of The Week: Our New Home
Farm life is ticking along quite nicely. We’ve been here 6 weeks today (or to be more precise 42 days) and time is flying by. Only another 47 days to go (if my calculations are correct) and then we will be back in Sydney for a couple of weeks before we leave this beautiful country … More Photo Of The Week: Honeycomb Valley Girls
