Certificate III in Agriculture student Cam Darbyshire followed a lifestyle change that saw him move from the bustling Melbourne CBD to a hobby farm in Stanhope.
Although he was excited, he has felt some feelings of self-doubt as he had limited experience in the agriculture industry.
“It was a bit daunting,” he said.
“I am learning everything from scratch and by making mistakes.”
During his studies, Cam has not only gained a deeper understanding of agriculture, but also how to use farm machinery and make the best use of land.
“It has been challenging — but I have had a lot of support from other students,” he said.
