working
Today we just picked bananas until smoko. Afterwards we stopped for this week (I was quite glad) and
went to another part of the farm to do deleafing. This is a kind of tree maintenance, where the lower
and bad leaves of a tree are cut. This job is far more easier than humping. Shawn said that you are
kind of swapped around and do different jobs - not as on bigger farms, where you are just doing
the same job all the time. Concerning this I can describe myself as pretty lucky to work here on
Bernie Devany's farm. My work mates are pretty nice as well and I learn a lot. As most of the people
are saying: Once you have something to do with locals, you get a much better insight into the country
and the culture. Henry, the foreman, personifies the typical "don't worry-aussie" mentality.
