    back to the farm.

    February 17, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 12 °C

    Wensday evening I started to drive from adelaide towards rupanyup. On navigation I got a message to go right after 281 km, and that wasn't right but just straight. I think in total the road was for almost 450km just straight.

    In the meantime I visited a pink Lake. Yeah it's actually pink! I didn't swim in it so I think I'm still straight :-P. And it was really salty the whole bottom was salt. The pink color comes from the presence of an algae. And it's only really this pink when the sun shines.

    I hoped it was a bit cooler on the farm than in adelaide. Unfortunately it was everywhere hot. It's was 45 degrees today. So without airco it's bloody hot!.

    This weekend Peter and Eileen went to the wedding of their son Tim. So I had to babysit the farm. Feed the horses, chucks and dogs. Fixed the ute of Peter and also fixed roofracks of my own car. I wasn't allowed to work more then 8 hours so I just watched some movies in the meantime and applied for some jobs. Total 6 movies in 3 days. :-P

    Sunday it was pretty cold in the morning, around 15 degrees and a hard cold wind. I even needed a jacked. Pretty weird having 30 degrees difference in 3 days.. Because of the hard wind I had to move a fallen tree with the tractor off the road.

    The rest of the week I did some weeding and slashing of straw.

    And now up to wandiligong!
