On May 30th I departed from viewpoint farm with Just over $2000 in the bank. One and a half months have passed and just over $2000 have been removed from my bank. I now find myself at Red Dirt farm. 300hecters of land for the soul purpose of melons. I rolled into Katherine with only $50 left in the bank that I had recently earned after picking Pumpkins and papayas in Kununurra.I was forced to find some work before d
eparting WA (western Australia) to fund the final part of my epic journey, as my fellow travellers had departed on the bus to reach Darwin in time to get their flight. I replied to an add looking for a couple of workers in one of Kununurras few backpackers hostel. Success!! They had room for one more. I started on the morning of July 1st with the task of cutting pumpkins from the vines. The following day was spent picking the pum
pkins and throwing them into a crate. On the final day we picked papaya’s, washed and packaged them. As it was a small farm they had only two backpackers helping them pick. The other backpacker was also called Simon but originates from Germany. After working on the farm, Simon joined me on the final part of the journey to Red Dirt farm and the place I will be writing up about my adventures that have brought me here.I plan to remain on this farm for 2-3months, or untill i have saved about $8000. This should be reasonably easy as the hours are plenty. In my first six days I have already made $800.
