Off to Homestead number two

So I’m updating everyone on our soon to be where abouts.
We have been at this homestead for around 5 weeks and the time for mustering/shearing is about to start. This will be done at the family's other homestead 150km from where we are now. There has been a lot of travelling over the last few days carting gear used for yard work when the contracted shears come, stuff for lamb marking and crouching, and other general gear. We will be moving over to this other homestead tomorrow for around 3 weeks where there will be NO internet. I apologise that my updates haven’t really been that regular and now to top that off I won’t be able to for a while. 
It’s now for Dave and I to swim in the deep end. We will be mustering up to 6000 sheep before the shearers come on the 23rd; shears average 250 sheep per day which means roughly 2 weeks of work for them. For us, it means 6 weeks of work mustering all the sheep into holding paddocks (paddocks close to the shearing quarters), dealing with yard work, drafting(separating sexes), organising lamb marking (tagging and crouching), general injections and spraying for lice, then after all that, muster all the sheep back to where they belong. When reading this I think, “Yeah...doesn’t seem too difficult on paper”; but truly I’m shitting myself. It’s a conflict of excitement and nervousness thing that I’m going to bugger up somehow. These paddocks average 8 square km with no significant landmarks to help with navigation, basically only the sun. These will be full on 10 hour days mostly on bikes which I can imagine will do a lot of damage to my arse considering the rocky terrain and long hours (hopefully Dave can still... walk).
Hoping that we do a good enough job and don’t slow down the whole process too much.

We will have mobile signal whenever we visit the local Kingoonya Pub, so Facebook is still on.  After all the mustering I can guarantee a decent and interesting blog post!

Talk to you all soon. Thanks for reading
