Scenario
The WA Bush Fire Brigade was host to the annual convention that
studied the flora and fauna of the North West in relation to fires and conservation. They
required a crew to provide for their people in bush conditions for a 10 day period. The
Bush Catering Crew were approached when the Army had to decline their assistance.
Numbers
75 people
Challenges
Travelling to the remotest region of WA and ensuring supplies for
75 people X 10 days arrived at the same location. This required coordinating a barge from
Darwin and other supplies from Kununurra. A long time to be up at 4:30am in the morning
and last to bed at night!.
Highlights!
Magnificent breathtaking countryside!
