TOM & GEORGIE LOVE & LIFE ON THE LAND

The city girl and country boy get real about things post-reality show

- Nikita Lee

Eight smitten months after Tom Molineaux and Georgie Lavery declared their devotion to each other in front of the whole of Australia, the country boy can fairly say it's been a baptism of fire for his love to go from city nurse to part-time farmhand.

“We've had a few mishaps along the way... I've been trying to teach Georgie and I assume she knows more than she does so that's backfired a few times,” Farmer Tom, 32, tells Woman's Day from the sheep farm at Borambola, NSW, where Georgie has just come home from night shift at the nearby Wagga Wagga Hospital and is about to clock on for her second “job”.

“There's a lot of assumed knowledge that’s not knowledge!” Georgie laughs.

“It's a big adjustment coming from the city to the farm,” Tom admits. “I've been trying to teach her and I'm not that good a teacher apparently...”

NEW WAY OF LIFE

Although it’s been a while now since the couple’s TV life came to an end and their real life away from the cameras began, Tom and Georgie, 28, didn’t jump into living together right away. When Georgie’s plans to buy a house in Wagga - just 25km from the farm - ended up falling through, she moved into Tom’s place in April and it’s been a whirlwind ever since.

“I am enjoying learning it all, don’t take that the wrong way,” the nurse says of the challenges she’s faced so far.
