Time for an update...

Well it's 3 weeks now since we left Winkie and 2 weeks that we've been on the property.

I've been busy babysitting and thoroughly enjoying it. There are 3 little girls, aged 4, 2 and 4 months.  Their mother, Jaime, is from England and lovely to chat to.  Her husband, Andrew, is busy with the harvest so I feel like I've helped out a bit.
 
Smoke haze makes for an awesome sunset!


This was from an early morning start on the way up to Queensland, I was the last in line behind the chaser bin and 2 headers so the dust hung in the sunrise.
 
Bun has been acting as a 'gofer' helping out wherever he can. We have also had time to relax a bit too.  The people here are really lovely and have been wonderful to be around.

The contractors have moved the machines to another property about 30 kms away to start harvesting there from today but the vans have stayed at the first property as the living conditions wouldn't be great at the new place.

We have decided that we will probably stick with this for the few weeks and then head off and have a much-needed holiday.  Bun really needs to relax and clear his head after the last few months so once the contractors are back over the border into NSW, we will try and catch up with Ben before he goes off overseas in mid-December.  We also plan to see Timmy if we can, he's based near Armidale.  Other than that, we plan to see some National Parks and maybe spend some time near beaches.  Maybe then, Bun will get to do some surfing :)

Cheers
Anne
