After working for an organic café in Denmark didn’t quite live up to the most basic of expectations we moved on to Margaret River on Christmas day. It turns out that a better hospitality work environment can be found in a German Brewery – Duckstein! The serves of meat were monstrous, the plates heavy and numerous. On the busiest day we clocked 450 meals in 3hrs. The Duckstien gang were hard working cool cats and although it was not part of our regular daily intake the bottomless bowl of hot chips and the free pint at the end of each shift made it all worthwhile.
After the area was scorched with fires during November the first signs of regrowth were starting to show. Holiday time and Margs was crawling with tourists and surfing hellmen. This was good for finding work but no so good for finding a home. After our first official Rangering (lucky only a warning of a $500 fine) friends of friends helped us out and we had a home at Clare’s house with her 2 kids, Nellie and Jesse, and husband Mark – thanks again Clare you’re the number 1 super mum of Australia!
A month of working, sunshine and west coast waves…
