short update (dawn, for the lovers of sophisticated translation humour):
-we are in Mundubbera, population 2500, north west of Brisbane ("just" 400 kms north west), citrus capital of Queensland (so they say here) and home of the Big Mandarin (click to see). The next town is 45 kms close, and it's home of the Big Orange. I think these facts are pretty descriptive of the environment we live in.
-actually, the environment we live in the most is a packing shed. We work with mandarins, loads of them.We have been packing em for a week, paid 0.004 dollars each mandarin, now we've been moved to more spiritually rewarding positions (and paid hourly), some say cause the manager has dreadlocks:I count boxes, yvonne separates good mandarins from bad ones.
-the second environment we live in the most is our rest area on the side of the road, where we park our house (car) every night, cook dinner, talk to other fruit workers, our neighbours (but they change everyday), go to sleep, and leave at dawn (update)(ok I'll stop it now).
Now I'm going, I have the afternoon off and I want to enjoy some sun before it goes down, we usually work til after dark, so...
Yvonne is still there, looking at mandarins rolling in front of her eyes and picking the worse ones.
The weather is great, I have a new concept of winter in my head, now.

P.S.I guess it must be way better than the danish concept of summer.

Hi darling,
happy to know you are becoming real aussie workers.
the descrition is lively and amusing.
if you have money, time and breath i suggest you to go to a ( one o two better ) day trip to fraser island from noosa head.
take care
bye bye
hahahaha the big mandarin owns the big orange i bet you feel privileged to be working with mandarins instead of those lowly oranges!
what are your plans after supplying sydney with your delicious mandarins?
hehehe, actually I saw that one of the boxes we so lovingly packed was marked for coles NSW!!!!! so if you buy mandarins there anytime soon just think, I probably touched it at some time, especially now that I am sorting... its a continuose flow of mandarins... actually when I look up after 3 hours non stop lowing mandarins I am kinda dizzy... dont know that its good for me!!!
We are going to go to frasier island when we finish working, maybe even stay there with tony for a night or something
Le sue frutta sarebbero il migliore di tutto. indossato va la persiana o l'inizio rubando dal negozio u birichino (islandese) italiani
ciao
i suppose that verity used a bad online translator.
sometime is better add the original sentence: maybe that sound this way
"Its fruits would be the best one than all wearing the Persian or the beginning goes stealing from the store u birichino (Icelandic) Italian"
Picking fruit in Australia! I am proud of you and happy for you, I would change in a minute from the complaining people of this ache and the other and just sort mandarines, one for the mouth and one for the box. Maybe later, after I´ve paid tuition and moving costs. But, the good news is that I have been invited to america next week by my very dear friend Peggy so I am happy, happy, happy.
love to you all
mom
i have a question..where do you have shower? where can you do bidè?
siete dei grandi...
io voglio un'altra foto della vostra macchina -casa
baci with love
the first shower was in the public shower at the football ground, but it was cold. never again. the second shower was in the camping, clandestinally. the third god only knows.
recently we've been working less hours, so we spend more time in our car-house, and it can be, we found out, a comfortable reading room and a very nice movie-lounge.
it's full of koreans in this town.
i think you should buy a felt tip pen and draw funny faces on the mandarins just before they go into their boxes. you could call your campaign the war of the unusual against ordinariness. what do you think? the revolution will not be televised!
Well my little ones..
I see you are enjoying the simple pleasures of living with zero responsibility, long may it last!
hehehehe
The danish weather is fine no rain 4 4 weeks and sunshine everyday, I am putting new windows and doors in and so our home is growing..ive sorted carrots on a belt so know about focus but next time i want to buy a mandarin Ill ask U!
