Made it to Merrigum on Tuesday, with a one night stopover in Melbourne. Melbourne looked like a nice city so will probably go there once we're finished here. Got the train out via Shepparton which was a typical Australian town - dusty roads and flat as anything.
Staying in a Wig-Wam type thing in Merrigum. It was a bit of a worry last night as the lightning was very close and there is trees all around it! It is just a little village with a shop and a post office. Started fruit picking on Wednesday. Its very hard work for little money but a good experience none the less. Its very warm here - 33 degrees today and warmer yesterday, so it isn't ideal conditions! Filled 5 buckets today, all three of us working together. People keep saying you get better so we'll see!
Possibly going to Echuca on Sunday, which has a jazz festival on, and the employers are putting on a free bus!
Not much other news and this internet is expensive so I best go!

Strange that the nights are rough and the days are so hot. We should have looked out that torch for you if there isn't any light in the wigwam! Windy here but dry for a change. Hope you are eating plenty fruit! Be hearing -Dad
