We're in the outback now, sort of. It's pretty much the middle of no where, the neighbours farm is an hour and a half drive away, the nearest town (small town with grocery store, butchers and petrol station to it's name) is half an hour drive away and to get back to civilisation your talking 8-12 hour drive. We did it once and it's a killer but sometimes you need civilisation after four weeks of cows, dogs and tractors for company. I think the key to knowing when civilisation is in order is when you start talking to the cows like they're people.
We're living it though and have done so much fun and cool things that we wouldn't do otherwise. We're in a little place called Augathella, still in Queensland and only a little north of where we were last but north none the less.
Today we created a veggie patch in the garden. It's something the owner of the farm has been planning on for a while and she saw the two naive English backpackers as a good way to get it done.
I've always wanted a veggie patch I think the concept is great though mum never allowed it. I've always thought anyone can grown their own veggies of some sort and my Dad has taken tomorrow's and chillies recently, pretty successfully I might add. But anyway, I really enjoyed the whole veggie patch thing and am still set on having one of my own in the future. It also reminded me of my wish to be as healthy as possible and a key to that is knowing where you food has come from and the easiest way to solve that is grow it yourself.
Being healthy is something I enjoy and take pride in and how much I enjoyed creating this veggie patch today showed that.
Just goes to show when you find something to enjoy you don't feel like your working.
Even better if you can get paid for it.
