I understand some of you back home would like to know more about what's happening with Christian Down Under. Well here's a short resumé of what happened after Sydney. Before I left Sydney I joined WWOOF Australia, a volunteer organisation where you as a WWOOFER work a couple of hours a day in exchange for free food and accommodation. WWOOF stands for ”Willing Workers On Organic Farms” and right know I'm staying at a farm named Aranda owned by a wonderful, WONDERFUL, family! The farm is situated north of Australias first inland city, Bathurst, and has some cattle, sheep, horses, hens, working dogs and cats. Stephen and Emily, the owners, call the place a hobby-farm. Both of them has work in the city plus Emily is a potter and Stephen runs his own engineering workshop, and on top of that the farm!
Stephen and Emily are wonderful hosts and they don't work their guests to death no no. They tell me, ”you didn't come to Australia to work did you?” and they always tell me to relax when I ask for work. So what do I do instead you might ask? I've been to a nearby city called Orange, I read books, play chess, backgammon and enjoying being a part of this wonderful family, I'm very happy I got the chance to stay here. Workwise (other than mentioned in the previous post) I helping (helped, we're done) Stephen to build a dog yard for Jack and Milo. Tomorrow I'll dig a backyard path from the house to the back paddocks. Probably I've done more than this but it'll give you an idea of how I spend my days here. I'll be staying here for another week, then I'll continue WWOOFing at friends of Stephen and Emilys for hopefully another two weeks. After that nothing is decided but staying at Emilys parents place (yes, I have been invited) at the foot of Blue Mountains sounds wonderful so I might do that. Now you hopefully know what's going on. See you later, please leave comments!
