AUS Dover II (Tasmania)

Farmwork (more or less)

Every day starts out with a mesmerising sunrise over the river valley on our 50 min drive from Huonville to Dover. The drive to Dover and back, in the heated hostel van, is definitely one of the highlights during these cold autumn days.

After 3 weeks of monotonic apple picking it is getting harder to keep focused and motivated. The animals on the farm are a welcome excuse to take a break every now and then. I must admit that the farmer's family has to take Benzin, the farm dog, inside the house every couple of days, because he distracts me too much from work. I may spend a little too much time hanging out and playing with the dog, but I can't help it.
