At Home on The Farm

---

27th April

We got into Rockhampton at around 6.15am to be picked up by the people at Myella farm at 6.30am, from the bus stop we where taken to the farm which is about an hours drive away. We had breakfast at 7.30am and then went horse riding through the farm paddocks, where we got to round up all the cattle and put them into different pens. After lunch we had motorbike lessons on a manual bike which was good fun but quite difficult. After we all got the hang of it we had a short break. After the break we went for a 7km ride around the farm in the red dust, after this we where going to watch the sunset but on our way there we saw a snake track and went snake hunting instead. We had a nice dinner with homemade beer.

In the morning Lauren and I went to milk a cow, each which was a good experience. We did not want to go horse riding today so instead we got given a job of going to check some of the water troughs on the farm using the motorbike which I think was more fun than horse riding. After lunch I got roped into helping make the beer which didn't take very long and Lauren decided to do a hay run which took about 5 mins, Lauren will tell more about this. After helping make the beer I taught myself how to crack a whip, which I managed to do 2nd time, and the people Lauren was sitting with, said it was unfair as some people have been there 3 days and could still not do it. Later in the day we got dropped of at a hostel where we decided to stay for the night before getting the bus the following day.
