    I escaped from the UK straight after University during the time that Thatcher was saying "if people have no job in the north of England they should move" and I did but a little further than she intended!. Got a job in Australia from a small 3 line advert in the Sunday Times, and intended to stay for a maximum of 3 years. 44 years later I am still here. Lived in Adelaide for 20 years then Brisbane with small escapes to Santiago, Chile and New Orleans, USA with lots of international travel for business and holidays in between.. The world has so much to offer and you guys are demonstrating that in bucket loads. I love your infectious curiosity and positivity and that is surely why thiis fantastic couple invited you to explore their amazing farm.

    As an Australian, you are so lucky. There's no experience you could do this unless you knew someone or if you worked there. So many of us don't even go out to rural country areas. They were so lovely to let you in their home and you were so thankful. Love watching this stuff - it's so unique!

    It is heart warming to see just how much you both appreciate what you are experiencing, New Zealand as you both know is a wonderful place but different to Australia but between both Countries you get to experience almost all the world can offer nature wise and between both countries a vast range of cultures and all the worlds foods, Pretty good deal when all said and done

    Mado, you're so brave. My heart went out to you watching you bravely sitting in the back of that tiny, little (old - 1979!) plane. I would have been massively nervous too. Good on you for giving it a go.

    • @pacapaca6307
      @pacapaca6307 12 дней назад

      Perhaps old chronologically but well maintained, kept in a hanger & maybe with relatively low air miles. I have friends that locate their cattle for mustering using an even older Cessna but mustering only happens for a couple weeks once or twice a year. Being 650 km from the capital city they occasionally fly but logistical factors means they more often just drive. But the plane is good for local regional travel. Their cattle station is 500,000 acres, a lot of square kilometres.

    Mado, it's called looming when you turn cotton into strings. Both of you though have probably experienced what no other traveler in this land has ever done. What a rare opportunity you have grabbed out of your schedule from this admirable man. Hats off to all three of you!

    • @jemor2143
      @jemor2143 11 дней назад +1

      Isn't looming when you turn threads into cloth, as in weaving??... Turning cotton into threads is simply called spinning, on a spinning wheel, I think you'll find.

    What a great experience came your way. Such a friendly and industrious farmer. You are right about how dependent Oz is on irrigation . The Murray/Darling River system is the major source of water for irrigation and the states of NSW, Victoria and SA have heated debates about water allocation along the whole system. Sometimes the flow to the Murray mouth is very low.

Huge thankyou to Old Mate for the stroll around his backyard. I live on a cattle station now where the yakka is still hard but the produce walks around.

    Part of the reason that cotton is not more widely grown in Australia is the water demand. Some farmers were building dams and taking water from the river system and causing problems for irrigation systems in use further down the rivers.

    @luborrelli8966 14 дней назад +2

    Well done Mado with the flight; Me too. Regarding Australian farming; Australian soils are generally very old and infertile. To make it work, economy of scale needs to be applied, hence the large farms. Cotton though, is a water intensive crop.

    Awesome vlog!! from Perth but i was born & bred in the WA bush (wheatbelt) until i moved to Perth for work when is 18. (those were wonderful years growing up on the land). I went back to the bush again as an adult for 10yrs with last place up Nth in Broome for 3yrs before heading back to Perth for good now living close to the beach. Many tourists never get to experience what you have just seen being welcomed onto a fully working farm by an awesome farming family.
    Yeah i have been in plenty of those small planes so common to see on farms these days which is so much fun (unless you have a fear of flying of course)
