Interview with Truck Driver

And so with farming, what do you like about farming and why?

Right. I think when you get up on your job, you’re looking forward to doing it. It doesn’t make it easy a lot of the time when you’re sweating and it’s tough, but the challenge of, of guiding nature and the animals, uh. On the farm and, and you’re sort of part of the unit on the farm, the animals, the dogs, you know, they’re, they’re eager to go for the day and glory and.

In my case, got a wife it’s the same and it’s it’s a pretty good way to get up and start the day. Loving what you’re doing and looking forward to it.

At the other end, Richard umm, what is it you do not like at our phone?

Oh well, I think yeah. It’s a seven day a week job if you run your farm.

They even blame everybody as well. So it’s it’s a strange environment. It’s at the end of the world. Well, what about the bad prices you get? Etc. But. In the end. You know, you’re the boss on your farm and it’s a lovely feeling of being on the land. It’s your land and you love it. Yeah, yeah. OK, so you.

Um, so which you’ve been involved in climate production, but also you had a ******* business. So can we just talk about the trucking business for a while now? And from this report that I’ve got. We do. Can you drive a truck and you please explain to me under the listeners. You’re involved in the fact that you know who you’ve worked with over the years. One of the is a professional play the show.

It it it’s it’s a. Christian.

Type, uh, when, when were I was on the land, I, I travelled around looking at sheep and sheep studs and that’s what I was going to do. And I was going to do it in WA. We lived on the East Coast in the high country and I wanted limestone country by the sea. That was the dream. I’d have looked all over the world trying to find it and there was an economic. Do so you went over the early 70s for tough call and we couldn’t sell what we had in these, so we had to treat and. Then I got married and started to have children. Everything was uh. It’s the time in the early 70s for Australia and pretty hard. And so they got through that OK on the farm. It works actually quite well in them. But, uh, would we wanted another income? If you have five children, you need, uh. A lot of input and we wanted. Thanks dying my wife to stay, to be part of their, their world and she was on the farm. She was doing that, but we needed more money to do the deal. So, uh, we went into trucking and, uh. You first of all, because we were into the potatoes around, we went into the markets with those and, and got a feel for the food industry, I suppose, umm, all into Sydney, which is now Darling Harbour, uh. Potatoes entered the new markets. Originally it was where Chinatown is when they were carving here, so it was an extraordinary experience to go in and see how that world lived and worked. Then, well when we went to WA, we took a semi trailer over and I went up into the uh. In Belize, uh, with a few lads and. So you’ve got the feel of Australia, in fact. So that was a fabulous scene. Because you’ve done mine over and over and over again.
