news in a nutshell, again!
Hey everyone....
Just a quickie to say all is going well here in Oz, fundraising is slow, but donations are coming in off the drivers passing dave by. He's doing really well, and has skated over 550km, which is remarkable. Thw team have taken to their roles well, and we even managed 2 nights in the bush - slightly scary, but none the less, proved we could all cope with whats ahead of us.
The vans are doing well, and its great to be on the road again. I've finally seen some scary spiders - poisonous redbacks - and some cockatoos, a real life kangaroo (although i've seen more roadkill), and some big blue tongued skinks.
The ozzies are really friendly, and most have offered us accomodation and discounts for free, which is awesome. Its been hardwork but fun having to work with Bev on catering - but we've finally cracked which tinned meals are good and which ones arent.
We visited a school this morning which was awesome - this project is very much about children, and seeing there faces and asking Dave questions in the assembly was really cool - Dave can be inspirational, and these kids certainly saw that there was more to life. I just hope that when we get to the other side of the nullabor that fundraising really picks up, and its my responsibilityt to make sure it does, but its no easy task.
So, tomorrow we are on the final leg before the nullabor, and its quite exciting. Today is a rest day - we call them this cos Dave doesnt skate - but they are far from that - its still hectic trying to get everything done.
Much love to everyone back home - im sorry the emails have been few and far between, but i hope you are all watching the web - its been updated recently so check out the photos and the videos.
Got to go visit a camping shop now, so keep watching, and keep supporting through www.justgiving.com/boardfree
