Homesick Kiribati farm workers lift morale by singing in Tasmanian vegetable fields | ABC Australia

Kiribati farm workers in northern Tasmania have formed an accidental choir after they started singing in the fields to keep their spirits high.
The workers from the small Pacific nation are based in the rolling green hills of Forth, on a vegetable farm, where they are bringing a little of their culture to the paddocks.
After initially singing in the field to help the days pass a little easier, the group of young men have since performed for at local music festivals with the help of their supervisor.
