How to Keep Yourself Entertained During Farm Work
Three months in the middle of nowhere doesn't have to drag. Day trips, local produce, board games and a bit of fitness, here's how we kept the 88 days fun.
Maybe these 3 months aren’t quite how you imagined spending your time in Australia, however that doesn’t mean they can’t be a fantastic few months.

Day trips
It may feel like you are in the middle of nowhere but that doesn’t mean there aren’t great activities within driving distance. Make the most of your weekends and your hard earned cash; rural Australia has world-class beaches and landscapes, take a drive!
Explore local produce
Many of our jobs are located close to top-drawer wineries, cheese and chocolate producers, not a bad way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
In-house entertainment
Head to the nearest charity shop/reject store and pick up some old fashioned entertainment. Board games, cards and books are all great ways to spend your time on weeknights.
Exercise
Maybe this isn’t the entertainment everybody’s looking for, but the truth is the 88 days you spend farming is a great time to get fit. Local teams are always looking for extra bodies and most towns will have reasonably priced gyms.
