Barely two weeks after the huge cyclone cleanup at Pardoo station! The exercise was already planned. Little did we know that two weeks later we’d be at Pannawonica for a cyclone cleanup there! A very busy time for the Bush Catering Crew.

Our second time at Cooya Pooya. Beautiful cool sweet water pumped from the underground supplies.
