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.
The unofficial leader of the choir is Romme Tabwere, also known as Jerry, and he usually leads the group of workers into song while they are in the field.
