Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
We have finished work on the feedlot and are now offically unemployed! I thought it would be a huge relief not to be working and that I would be excited to go, but I actually just feel sad more than anything. For six months our lives have revolved around feeding the cows, watching over them... Continue Reading →
It's crazy to me that I have lived in Australia for two years now. It really doesn't feel like that long ago I was sat at my desk in work, staring out the window and thinking "get me away from here!" I've had a fantastic time travelling around this beautiful country and I have experienced... Continue Reading →
Yes I went with the very original title of 'chasing waterfalls'. I just couldn't resist using the 90's hit song as a reference. Thank you TLC. The tropics of far north Queensland are so different from other parts of Queensland. If you get the chance to travel that far up the coast, I would strongly... Continue Reading →
We have been working on the feed lot for almost three months now. The time has flown by. Time flies when you're having fun... Or working 11 hour shifts everyday! Before we were hired for this job, we were actually set up to go back to the dairy farm we previously worked for. It was... Continue Reading →

Yesterday we were invited to the Flinton races which is 90km from the feed lot. We didn't really want to at first, but I am so glad we... Continue Reading →
One of the most popular tourist destinations in Australia, Byron Bay did not dissapoint. We spent the night in a small campsite in our wonderful car and pretty much melted in the spring heat. We started the morning the proper way with a stop at a bakery for coffee and pastries. The food was really... Continue Reading →
Just wanted to share a little bit of dog happiness. So today I was ready to take the dogs for a nice evening run, me on the quad, them running alongside. I stopped to take a phone call and this happened. I really do think I could of fit two more on there. There's definitely... Continue Reading →
Dogs are the best animals. There's no arguing it. They are just so pure and full of character. Today I was riding back to our house on the quad bike and Worry (odd name for a dog) began following me but then fell behind. She's one of the twelve working dogs they have here at... Continue Reading →
This was written a while ago but I have been so busy I haven't been able to upload and edit! Sorry about the gap between the posts... ...So what was an average day like? In a nutshell, the complete opposite to my home life. At seven o'clock in the morning, I would help make the... Continue Reading →
