We drove another few hours in search of a town called Kapunda. This is where we had been promised some work on the grape vines.
We had been invited to stay at Racheal and Peter's house. Well in fact in their granny flat at the bottom of the garden.
Racheal and Peter had gave us a number to call for a guy who had work. He said we could have a job. Great. The bad news was that the season was meant to start in Feb and I don't think still to this day (march-11-11) the season has still not started. Australia has suffered with bad weather this year..
When we was in Kapunda there was a benefit show on the sports field in Aid of raising money to help Chris Rowe, his whole family had been murder by a guy his sister went to school with. It was great to see the whole town turn up to it.
We only stayed a week in Kapunda. We could not find any work and our finds was nearly dry. We had to find work some where, and quick. So we called every Madec (employment agency) in SA and in Vic. We had a call back from the Madec in Robinvale. BINGO he said we could start work tomorrow, but we had to be there by 5pm today to sign up.
It was 10.55pm and it took at least 5 hours to get there.
We had to say a quick good bye and off we drove again.
We would like to say a very big thank you to Rachael, Peter, Harrison, Willham and Micky for letting is stay with you.
If we get the chance to come over again. It would be amazing to see you all again.
