I recommend people with farm work experience to apply for this place. They're all nice people, welcome,and have everything you need. You can get two days off per week. Cooking with other packers for everyone. You should always pay attention to the water and never waste it as it is all from rain. Surly they are tasty and clean. There are many small creatures the project house and snakes uphill, but it's always safe if you make noise during work and wear boots. Though sometimes the weather and lack of water make them anxious, it's easy to understand and gain empathy. Nice place for right people.

Leyis English not too good she means we haa possum ( sleeps in day goes feeding at night, ) and a microwave who are tenants and the chickens come around on verandah sometimes.. yes the water is important ( but we ve had a good weather so far) because we only have water from the sky here. Even though we have many water tanks overseas people are used to turning on a tap and water flowing continuously forever.. once our tanks run out from overuse we have to buy poison water from town ( fluoridated
