"Rock Picking".....

Our first view of the house we will be living in for the next 6 weeks.  We've started a job on a huge wheat and sheep farm north east of Perth in the Wheatbelt.  Our job is simply to pick up rocks and sticks in the paddocks so that when the wheat is harvested the blades on the machines are safe from damage.
The size of property is mind boggling.  Some of the runs up the paddocks are 2km long!
Here I am standing on the side step of "Elki" the land cruiser ute.  One person drives up and down the paddock and the other stands on the side step ready to jump off and pick up the rocks and sticks.
Once the tray is full of rock we unload it and start up again.
