Hard Work





We are in a nice little town called Kununurra now not far from the Northern Territorys. Along drive here but saw some nice things on the way.
There was a brief stop in Broome for some drinking and partying with a friend. The open air cinema was a treat, the oldest operating cinema of its kind. It had a nice old feel to it with deckchairs and watching the movie under the stars.
Our next stop on the way was Geki Gorge where we took a boat tour on a river carved from an ancient reef of the Devonian era. Saw load of crocs swimming and lying about also, only the small freshwater ones, no huge salties though.
Been trying to find seasonal farm work here in Kununurra but its not so easy. The majority of jobs are picking pumpkins, eggplants and rockmelons. We found a job picking eggplants but couldn’t last more than two days as its hell on the back. Hoping now to find some work in a sandalwood plantation or in a packing factory.
