I arrived Gatton(near Bristane by 2 hours train and bus) on last Sunday night. Then I started to work on Monday. I did three days shallot and one day another vegetable. Today is a rainy day, I need not to work. The farm job is hard, it is quite boring and after work you feel tired and don't want to do anything. But it is good to strength mind. The most important thing I learn for farm job: using your brain to earn money is much better than using your body.
There are many farms with different vegetables near Gatton, so many backpackers come here to work and save money for traveling. The weather is not good recently, always cloudy or rainy. It affects works as well. The pay is not very good here, I only earn around $50 AUD per day. Under this rate, it is hard to save money. I will leave for another Taiwanese farm next Saturday, the pay is by hour ($14.95 AUD). I plan to go to Bowen for tomato picking job, casue the pay should be more than $100 per day. This will help me to save money more quickly.
After saving some money for around three months, I plan to travel to Ululu, Darwin Cains, White Sundays island, Fraster island, Syndey, then Melbourne and Tasmania for two months. Then go back to Taiwan before the Chinese New Year.
