Working for Don Green

---

My recent time in Kalgoorlie has consisted of working for Mr Don Green, who's slogan is
THE MAN TO SEE!

He employs backpackers who are in between jobs and I had heard much about him before Chris came in one afternoon saying Don required two 'men' for the next day. I offered my services and attended with Chris & Paul the next morning. Don, who had not taken on a girl before, seemed confused but ended up keeping me on for my final 3 weeks in Kal!

One day, during a truck driving lesson, Josh asked Don how I was doing during and Don replied "good, she works like a bloke, she's consistant and she'd make a good wife"!!
Hmmm I'll take that as a compliment...

So my duties gradually included:
Tree lopping (assistant)
Concreting
Removals (once - never again)
Cleaning & delivering chairs for a function
Driving a bus & trailor to collect food & feed camels
Driving tourists on a tour to visit the camels!

Cherry Picker
I can't decide if it's safer on the ground or beside Don in the cherry picker as he waves his chainsaws around...

At the tip
Having dodged Don's dropping branches and heaved them onto the truck, at the tip the loader unloads the branches from the truck for us (thank goodness!). Sexy work gear eh?!

Concreting
One finished job at a family centre.

Bus & trailer
Here's what I drove round town, collecting food & delivering to the grateful (unsmelly) camels.

Deb & Camels
Hungry camels were happy to see us each day and munch away!

Carrot
Hey where's my carrot?

Here's a few of the paintings I couldn't afford, displayed in Don Green's shop! Bro, this is where your wooden bits were purchased!
