Tree Bagging innit

It's now New Years Eve. The hostel is quiet except for a few Brits and our Korean friends. Everyone else deserted us for Magnetic Island for a beach party, it's a shame that it has been raining all day.

Christmas day was a bit of a bust no one wanted to celebrate; together anyway.

I have a new job on the banana farm which consists of me riding a converted tractor that has a cherry picker on it. I have to use this vehicle to bag the fruit whilst it is on the tree to protect it from the sun, insects and other nasties.

It's still raining at 19.40 and the weather man informs us that it will stay this way for the next 72 hours! Bring it on!
