“Mushrooms are called the meat for vegetarians, and it’s so true. As a business, it gave us 19 years of good living.” Sounds all nice, what with all these button mushrooms sprouting in the chill of the night, but according to Patrick few could believe the time he put into the business to survive. “It was a seven days-a-week job,” he said. “I used to do my day’s work then drive to the Pooraka Markets north of the city every day for 12 years. It was a 200km round trip, but I saw the positive; it was my thinking time. I’d leave here at eight o’clock at night and be back at midnight, then be up at six to start another day. You do things like this because you want to succeed.” The sacrifices were immense. There was one holiday with his wife during that time; to the Gold Coast for a week, but the phone calls with the caretaker on the mushroom farm were constant. There were trips home to Ireland, but they could never go together. Among the hardship was a personal triumph; going to a city auction and buying two airconditioners for the mushroom sheds that were passed in for $1000 each, and snaring them for $100.
