Memorable Moments
- Getting bogged in South West Tasmania in a hire vehicle and a staff member diligently trying to assist which resulted the christening of her new hiking boots.
- Being grounded in Melbourne Airport for two days on our way to Tasmania due to volcanic ash clouds halting all flights caused by an eruption of a volcano in Indonesia.
- Trail auditing in the Hunter Valley region and not realising that the name really did reflect the fact that hunting did occur in the region when stepping over an animal carcass.
- Enjoying the airline lounge hospitality only to miss the flight. With no suitable substitute flights having to hire and drive a car 3 hours to reach the destination at 1am.
- Another bogged vehicle incident this time in Kakadu National Park whilst undertaking site visits. Luckily the local rangers had a winch to pull the team out!
Thank you
