Vaughn & Kobie
Australia
Приєднався 22 лют 2022
Our little family consists of Vaughn, Kobie and Fish (our Kelpie X). We quit our day jobs in August 2021, in pursuit of a more nomadic lifestyle - and also due to the fact Kobie's family is in Victoria and Vaughn's family is in WA.
We run a small business on the road called Troopy Gear, which focuses on supporting fellow small businesses: Thorburn & Sons, Surquip, Dusty Decals and Sophie Fletcher Designs.
We pick up work as we travel as well, helping our Aussie farmers during harvest periods (usually November-December). We drive headers and chasers mainly harvesting wheat, oats and barley, and absolutely love it.
We have built our own Tiny House which we live out of, and tour around the country with our Troopy and Prado.

Australian Sorghum Harvest 2023 QLD
Sorghum Harvest at Coolibah Plains near Emerald QLD. Late April through to May 2023.
This was the first time we had seen Sorghum, and the first mid year harvest we had done (usually we only work November/December). Mid year harvest in Australia is rife in Queensland and the Sorghum we have picked up is largely export (China for alcohol) or cattle feed for local markets.
Some of what was harvested was trucked to Goonoo Feedlot and the Port at Gladstone QLD for export to China.
Coolibah Plains is a 20,000 acre broad acre cropping operation, growing wheat and Sorghum in Central Queensland on black soil country. We worked here for 8 months from late April through to mid November, leaving just before the wet season/Summer hit.
