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?
