DAY 81 // Well, That's it.

Today was a sad and lonely Saturday..not to mention freakishly quiet without the crazy Cammie wandering around talking about random things and singing.

I spent all day at the farm skyping my fam and a couple friends..doing laundry and packing up all my crap. My bulging backpack is staring at me in the face as we speak screaming, " have fun carrying me tomorrow suckaaa"….I guess I bought more things at the op shop than I thought?

Other than the usual pre-leaving to-do's I also stocked up on some new tunes for the bus rides I'll be taking this week (A MUST)
my faves:
The Neighbourhood- Female Robbery
Wolf Gang- Lions & Cages
Yahtzel- High with me

 and doodled a little.

It's crazy to think how 81 days can fly by before you know it…
When I look back and think about all the positive things about our time here, it feels cool and good knowing that we experienced a part of Australia that many wouldn't. We stayed in a town where we were one of few backpackers, met locals everyday, and lived the life of one.. in a old rickety farm house, with a farm dog and chickens in the backyard and geckos in the bathroom.

At the end of the day, as much as we bitched and complained and had tough days, I wouldn't have done it any other way. I learned and was a part of the day to day workings of a small farm and have more knowledge and a new appreciation for how our food is grown and where it all starts..and the hard working hands that are involved in the process. I can truly say I will never look at a watermelon the same way again….

SO, we may not have completed the full 88 days ..but it doesn't matter.
We got what we came for and much more..a new perspective, some funny stories, a mastered skill of chipping weeds, larger biceps muscles, more endurance and stronger willpowers and of course the mother of all rewards.. a second year visa.

A big thanks to Ian (who knows if he'll ever read this thing..) who was one chilled out, funny and kind boss not to mention one hardworking and devoted human being. Thanks for making our time at the wee ol' farm a good time..you know you'll miss us crazy canadians...

And thanks to Hayley, for saving our asses from that damn brown snake. One badass chick you are. And we'll never forget it.

Oh! And since I've become pretty much addicted to this blog..stay tuned for more posts down the road..whenever I feel like I have cool things to share, I will continue to share them with you lovely readers. Thanks for all the positive feedback and all the love :)

This isn't the end!

Until next time xo
