Within 144 hours Lucy and I had totally undermined Rob’s authority in front of the Harvesting workforce, out in the vineyard. Let me explain….We were asked by uncle Des to go and get his ‘Ute’ from out by some shed, in the middle of no-where and in the dark. So after driving around and opening and closing gates and doing a complete circuit of the area, twice, we finally found the ‘Ute’.and I was designated driver. So I got it running (no internal lights, pitch black in there and after some confusion found the hand break in the dash) I then found the 2way radio handset. Lucy and I proceeded to call out random stuff to each other as I followed in her dusty wake, with only the tail lights of her cruiser to guide me along the vineyards and dirt tracks of Mildura....

“Yo,yo”
“Yo Bitch, can you hear me, is it working”
“hahahahahhahahha”
“Hey kel, who’d have thought it, 2 blondes on a convoy”
“hahahhahaha”
“Lucy, we’re finally tearing up Mildura”
“Hahahha, Yeah, fucking hell”
“Kicking up some dust there girl”

A little bit of quiet as I consider the terrible state of Des’ tire tread. Then some more random banter.

“Wanker”
“Oops”
“Kelly, we’re following Rob”
“ok”

At this point after some silence on Lucy’s part I realized we were being met by Rob and Des, and on looking behind us a whole convoy of tractors, harvesters, supervisors and backpackers. Looked like something out of ‘Alien’ all you could see were headlights and the low growl of the giant engines. We were then informed that our pissing about on the 2way had been heard by everyone else out there. Ahh...Bloody hilarious!!
