Vines vines and more vines

Every morning we get the mini bus to work
Everyone is wide awake and very cheerful as you can see in the photo
This is Henry, he drives the van most mornings to work
The 20km dirt track to work from the main road
This is the start of the vine yard
We've seen a few roo's on the way to work
This is Thomas and he's from Germany
This is Micheal, he's Irish and holds a world record for the largest eyebrows
Micheal, Sam and Thomas

Sam and Thomas
We cut the vines to about 30cm then box them
There are 26 of us working here 2 Irish guys 1 German 3 English, a few Afghanistan's and the rest are from Cambodia
A row can hold 125 vines with 1.5kg of grapes to produce a bottle of wine
There are lots of rows here
These vines continue for 16km to the road
