AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

I wish we had electricity and TV.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

And the older I get, the more I'm like, I'm so glad we don't.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

And you can just tap out and not think about those things.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

And it's funny noticing with my kids how little they require or request technology when we're up there.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

They're not there constantly like, I want to go home and watch TV.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

I want to play Minecraft.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

Dad, can I look at your phone?

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

They don't really do that that much.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

Exactly.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

But yeah, it is very interesting, isn't it, how much they're not- You take the kid out of the kind of modern world a little bit and they tend to actually do pretty well without being much- At least my two, you know, N of two, without being a massive pain in the butt, constantly whinging about it.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

Yeah, they're not teenagers yet.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

Yeah, and so, what do we do?

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

We get up there, we sort of get ready, have something to eat, sleep, wake up the next day, and then it's sort of like, let's go check out the farm, just see what's going on.

Aussie English

So, we go and throw rocks in the pond.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

It's like the fire thing.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

I wonder if that's a massive human...

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

But that was, again, something I did when I was younger.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

We would go for walks and it would be like, let's chuck rocks into the pond.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

Or the dam.

Aussie English
AE 1414 - The Goss: Farm + Camping Culture in Australia

There's a big, big dam.
