Message from the middle of nowhere

Me and Swag left Sydney at 3.30pm on Monday afternoon, had a meal break in Canberra, which seems the most soulless city I've ever been to, and eventually arrived in Euston at about 8am Tuesday. We had to wait around three hours until we got picked up and taken to the farm we're going to be working on.

The first thing we did there was catch up on the sleep we couldn't get on the coach. Then a guy from the farm gave us a lift into town so we could buy some food. I'm not sure we can expect a lift like that too often though. Last night we just read for a bit then went to sleep, not knowing what time we were expected to get up for work.

We got up around six and lay on our beds, dozing on and off until around half past nine when a guy shouted on us to tell us we start tomorrow at six. After that we had a quick breakfast and decided to walk into town for something to do.

The sun was hot and there were more than a few flies swarmiong around us on the long walk to town. We'd been told it was around 5km to town but I reckon it's nearer seven. After walking for over an hour and a half a guy with a ute pulled over and gestured for us to jump in the back so we did and he took us the rest of the way into town, saving us a good twenty minutes walking.

The town here is tiny and not very exciting. Luckily we found this internet cafe because we tend not to get a signal on our phones here.

I wonder how work will be.
