End of trip but not end of project
26/07/09
We’ve had an amazing journey. At the end we’ve roofed 3 separate structures. We even had the national television station film us as the Minister of Sport and Culture gave the team a thank you speech.
After we finished on site, we spent a day of rest and recuperation at a game drive park. We saw many wildlife before returning home to Australia.
We would like to thank all individuals and companies that supported this project. This would NOT have been a reality without all of your input. Videos of our journey will be made available on this website in the near future. Thank you again and God Bless.
