Day 10

Did'nt get away with a lye in today...oh no. Up at 6.00am. Milking, feeding, and moving cattle about before breakfast. Met Mike's brother Rory (either another Rory or ive got the other guys name wrong). Very nice chap with a gentle disposition, very likable. We all milled about this morning and then i said my final goodbyes. Claire gave me some jam to take to mildura (I just know Lucy is gonna love it) and a nice meat recipe...so i can pay my way by cooking for her too. Being my last day the bloody weather decided to calm down a bit and it was actually cooler than any other day...typical. Wont miss the flies or the ants though and being almost piled by a bunch of heifers for daring to hold onto a bucket of tucka for more than 10 seconds while I (remmber this time) to close the gate. Bloody cow's...eyes bigger than their four belly's i think...Anyway its been 'real'.
