Orange workaway stay 6th July-15th July. Digging, baby kangaroo and snow!
We had an amazing first volunteering experience helping develop a farm property to accommodate visitors who will eventually sleep in the vintage train carriage that mysteriously founds its way onto the site from its origin in Sydney over 100km away!
We were fortunate to meet a brilliant group of people from France, England and Scotland who were also staying with our host family and we had many interesting nights around the table eating a variety of meals cooked by all those staying. The family were very kind to us and we also were very lucky to be sharing the house with a rescue kangaroo whose mother had sadly been run over, sadly a common occurrence on Australian roads. Fortunately Baxter was thriving by the time we left and I was delighted to get to bottle feed him the night before we left!
We couldn't have predicted that we would see snow whilst in Orange but it allowed me to build a snow man and we enjoyed a rather random walk to a vineyard in a blizzard during our stay. The wine defiantly made up for it!!
The next stop is Queensland so we look forward to warming up a lot at the beach!
