After we have been stopping by Beerwah waited already Juliet us. She has with David, her husband, a "smaller" strawberry farm on the Coochin Hills. WWOOFing means that for organic farms (such as in our organic farmers) is working and you only get food and accommodation. We sure have to work only 5-6 hours a day, 5 times a week (except such as is the market). On the farm work for 2 people from the region (Paul and John) and two solid workers (one Japanese and one French) and 6 WWOOFers (4 Japanese and Chris and I). Mostly we work in the morning at 6 to 12 clock clock (1 hr break in total). This farm has 6 football fields large strawberry beds, 2 bean fields, cocktail tomatoes, zucchini, cucumbers and many Huener. Fields, we usually pick strawberries or chopping weeds from. After Work, we have free time that we used can. At first we climbed up the mountains around the farm, which was sometimes really very difficult, because there was no way up. Then for dinner always cook Julia and David. Chris and I spend the night in a small caravan (have initially an hour needed to get him refurbish and the beds are too small, otherwise everything is ok ^ ^)
On Saturday we went to the Australian Zoo, the Zoo of Steve Irween, the most renowned people from Australia (at least for a famous' like AC / DC). He had an insane selection of Australian Animals and still some bigger selection of crocodiles. The shows were all first class, best I liked the crocodile show (even a movie get out of it ^ ^). Sorry, there is still sooo much money made from the Dead Steve, even his children have their own TV shows and sauviele souvenirs. In the evening we arrange
have also with the Japanese, I am crazy and out of was that their English is sometimes difficult to understand. Watashi wa desu Marius! (My name is Marius). I also have their technology used and thus some things are on my blog in Japanese, but that is net so bad:-D
The next day was Sunday market, had to be there on the car by 3 clock so that we to 5 clock in Brisbane were (120 km) and have built up to 6 clock everything. The market was already fully occupied at 6:30 and we sold almost all of our strawberries (of course we did not just strawberries, we had everything from organic farms eig in the area of Beerwah). At 11 clock the market was over and then we went back home to us a little rest before returning at 6 clock goes off at the mo.
take us too often with Julia and David to the beach on the Sunshine Coast. The beach is called Malooloobah comes (from the Aboriginisprache, But no one could tell us the translation) and is among the best of the field (Sunshine Coast several beaches and is more than 100 km long, has). The waves there are huge, perfect for surfing, which I will probably do too.
is currently the weather for the strawberries too dry, so it is only every 4 AGAINST Strawberries days (otherwise would be 6 people for far too little). In exchange we have beans, zucchini and Gürke harvesting or planting new seeds.
Yesterday we visited the last piece of virgin forest in this area. The other forests were cut down and sold. There were birds that were 10 miles further away not to hear, some sounded as if a baby cries or like a hissing cat.
And on the same day we run out of drinking water (so it is enough just to drink, but not for anything else) and because it has not rained for a month, the water will come in 2 days. now we sit here in the dry with 37 degrees in the sun, 30 in the shade without water. The few opportunities that we are going to the swimming pool or the sea, which we probably will do tomorrow and the weekend.
Rejoice that you have so much rain, send us something rained rueber ^ ^
In the 2 days that followed it in, but right. Some roads could only visit a few hours later, because they were flooded after the rain and threw much much hotter than before (so nothing to cool off ^ ^). After the rain, the strawberries are grown really fast and we could harvest every 3 days. Now
we are already 5 weeks in the farm
