I might go up to the bush and be with my parents because they're older and everything's going to change for them and stuff like that.

So I ended up, I've owned my place in the bush since 96, but 2020 was the first time I'd seen all four seasons of the same year.

at the farm, you know.

And I got this thing where, you know, my dad dies in March 2021.

And so often you talk to people and they say, you know, I wish I'd had one more dinner, one more hug, one more conversation or whatever, you know.

But when I looked at it, because it was a surprise when he died.

It wasn't expected.

He was 85, but he seemed to be quite healthy, you know.

And in reality, when I looked at it, it's like, well, I got a whole year.

I got a whole year like, you know, having dinner pretty much every night with my mom and dad and asked him a million questions and stuff.

Not because I thought he was about to pass away.

It was just because, you know, we had the time together, you know, and it took him on a few adventures.

You know, like I was digging a huge dam on my place to try and make it.

you know um um drought proof you know so i now have a 70 mega liter lake in the middle of my place which gives me enough water to feed the cattle and stuff for seven years some of that you know um and you know like one day we went out i went out to show them this you know what was basically a hole in the ground at the time about a you know football field size hole in the ground

And I took him out in a buggy and the clouds came over and it started pissing down with rain.

So I've got an 83-year-old old man who doesn't move too fast or whatever.

I've got to put him back in the buggy and drive.

And by the time we got halfway back,

back to the house it was absolutely torrential rain you know just like getting covered in I was so worried I thought oh my god I'm gonna make him sick or whatever you know I got him back to the house I said I'm so sorry about that he said are you kidding that's the most fun I've had in years

These people, you know, referring to my mother and the other people that, you know, are there to sort of like, you know, help him out.
