Lachlan and Shaun are sitting in the shed eating breakfast when I pull up. Walking into the make shift staff room, I narrow my eyes on the freshly boiled jug. Taking my time, I make a cup of coffee before joining them at the battered old table. None of us speak immediately, instead we all sit in silence, wrapped up in our own thoughts… well at least I know I am. Spending the night with a chick is nothing new.
