Australian farmer ignores Australia Day haters with incredible tribute to the country he proudly calls home
A young farmer has proudly shown his Australian spirit by drawing a map of the country with his tractor in his pasture to celebrate Australia Day.
Harrison Schuster, 27, along with his 8370R John Deere tractor, used the help of a GPS to create a 60-hectare map of Australia on the Barns of Freeling farm, about 60km north of Adelaide.
He spent a few hours learning how to convert a photo into the GPS to trace the map's outline, and then two hours in the field tiling the map.
His tractor had a screen where Mr. Schuster could be kept informed of his progress.
“We are all incredibly fortunate to live in this country where all individuals can pursue their dreams and be the best versions of themselves,” the Barns of Freeling wrote on Instagram along with a video of the card.
'It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, or how long you've been here, we're all in the same team – and Australia's success is our success.
'So make the most of the opportunities presented to you (just like we did with our tractor!), come together as one and celebrate this great country and the people who call it home.'
The incredible footage shows Mr Schuster meticulously carving the outline of Australia into the sand of his tractor, which even had an Australian flag attached to it.

The map covered approximately half of the paddock when completed.
Last year, Mr. Schuster used his tractor to draw a giant sunflower visible through Google Earth.
His latest work of art was applauded by fellow Australians ahead of National Day.
'Absolutely the best thing I've seen or read about celebrating who we are and how lucky we are. Look forward to. Happy Australia Day to you,” one person commented.
“You're proud to be Australian. Well done Harry,” said another.
