Great experience

Greetings from Tasmania! The past week has been good. I really enjoyed my time over at the training farm and it helped me learn some new things as well as refresh my memory with some farming work too. I'm headed off to a job in NSW at the end of next week so I got some time to travel a bit. Needless to say it's been a great experience thus far, thanks for checking in!

So pretty excited about that!

The first days were brilliant !So happy with the group I’ve got we’re all keeping in contact! The training week was such a laugh!! I’m on my first day at my new job I arrived here Saturday afternoon. I got the job I wanted doing mustering which won’t start for a month or so but got loads of horses to start backing and got a rodeo to set up for two weeks time as they are hosting one! So pretty excited about that!

Hope all is well

I’m LOVING life here in Australia. We had a nice opening week where I met the group in Noosa and we explored the beaches and nature walk together, and then left for the training farm. I learned a lot while at the farm, and found the instructors to be very patient and helpful! Now I work for a Livestock and Property salesman in Cloncurry, Queensland! Hope all is well on your end, and thank you so much for helping me put this together! Xx
