Pardoo Station Cyclone
Cleanup (Mar/96)
Date
March 1996 (3 days)
Where
Pardoo Station, north of Port Hedland.
Scenario
Assist in the cleanup of station after extensive damage by
Cyclone Kirsty.
Numbers
35 people
Challenges
First real operation for permanent volunteer Bush Catering Crew.
Because a lot of people were working in remote parts of the station fixing windmills we
had a food and water supply route that was about 150 km!
Highlights!
We showed we could do it - and do it well! German tourists
arrived at last meal and were invited to partake of our surprise stew ... now, was it
camel, donkey or kangaroo?
