Job done, back to Roma I go

My work here in Clermont is done, been here for 3 weeks and already off to my next job.  So my time here has been great, busy but not too busy.  Like I previously said I have been harvesting and also truck driving.  Mostly driving the Mack road train in between paddocks loading and un-loading wheat, as I don't have a MC (road train) license, only can drive these things on the farms.  I have a Heavy Rigid license, so can only drive large trucks with trailers up to 15t.  Now as the harvesting is done, I can stay here for another 3 weeks and work, but only part time and probably up to 40 hours a week at the most, which is not enough to make the money I want, so off I go to my next job.

Roma is a great town, big but not too much so, and lots of work available.  Now Tim was the guy I worked for last year, and although he has some work for me to do, he also gave me another contact for work.  Dick runs the local feed lot, and needs someone to feed cattle, do a lot of ground work in tractors and other general jobs.  Not I got a free lift there with one of the other drivers that works here, going through Roma to Toowomba for holiday, so will drop me off sunday, and work start monday :D

Now I'm about half way to my target amount of money I need, which is great, wasn't expecting to get this much together so quick, so hoping to get to Thailand earlier.  Aparently it gets really bust in Koh Tao end of December, so best to be there mid December in order to find a job easily (which is key).  So once I have enough money together so that I know for sure I am going, will book my tickets, exciting.

Anyway, speak again soon :D

Recently my car had broken down, so had to walk to work through some paddocks.  This awesome horse, has been stalking me.  Each morning it follows me, sometimes hiding behind trees or right up behind me as I walk through its paddock.
