First stop of course was home base, our grain farm near
Goondiwindi. From the moment I got home it was go, go, go. With harvest
beginning I was straight into the truck to carry 20 tone loads of wheat,
linseed and chickpeas from the paddock to the silos. Now trucks are built for
men, so driving these rusty old paddock trucks is not an easy job. Sitting on
the edge of the seat, hanging off the stirring wheel, fully loaded almost creates
as must adrenaline for me as driving the ambulance code one, lights and sirens
through the city. Then there are the long days, 12 hours, 14 hours every day
for two weeks, in the hot sun with a red dust tan. Many might think this sounds
crazy, but man do I love it!
