We have had 2 jobs since we started working in Australia, it tooks a while to find a job but we got there in the end.
We started off with a contractor called Drummond, he got us jobs working on the grape vine in the
Swan Valley for a few days. Which was actually quite good.
The best thing about it was that it wasn't peace work, we got paid an hourly rate of about $18 an hour for pruning a few grape vines.

After a few days he offered us a job working in GinGin on the potato harvest. This was the worst job ever in the world. We was put on to the back of a harvester sifting through potatoes chucking out the rotten and miss-shaped ones. The harvest machine we was on the back of was probably about 30 or 40 years old.

Every now and again the thing got stuck in the mud so we had to sit around until we got pulled out. This machine wasn't the most comfortable thing to sit on. Every night we would come home with new bruises all over our body. The hours was so long, we'd leave the house in the dark and come home in the dark.
4 days of torture and this was enough! We decided to start the job hunt again!
