G'day Fred.
I hope you won't mind me hijacking your follow up on this
forum post.
I also hope the readers of the follow up don't mind me sharing this little "Adventure" story.
It began on Monday 24/5/10 at the
Jigalong Remote Area School
carpark, when I bought the Beast to a stop, with smiling faces and waving hands to welcome me into their lives for a few days.
I have 28 school age kids from the
Jigalong Community and 6 staff members, a mixture of Indigenous and non indigenous adults and kids ~ we are on a road trip from the desert to the Indian Ocean, some of the younger kids have only now seen the blue waters of the
Dampier Coast, there were lots of very excited kids running away from the rolling water.
These remote area school kids are actually doing a fair dinkum days worth of schooling with a twist ~ the ocean as a class room and play area.

The kids have had hands on experience learning water safety skills, rope and knot craft and also building a raft, all in small groups or teams, the best raft builders and eventual race winners got to go out
well off shore in a power craft. Now that's a nice little adventure and I am chuffed to be part of it.
I get a big cheer every time I pull the "Beast" up and open the door to a new adventure.Image Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be FoundImage Could Not Be Found
