From little things big things grow...
I know I havn't really left home yet but, I really felt a fitting place to start this blog was after the trip that is gonna help fund a nice chunk of the bigger adventure :)
It's 3:30am suns not showing any signs of coming out to play but were up. Quickly grabbing last minute things we made our way out to the tiny skippers terminal. We had to check in a ridiculous amount of crap and once that was done we flew out bound for Yarrie.
It was hot. So very hot! Gatt and I spent all of Thursday setting up for our minesite race and trying to dodge the heat as best we could. Finally hitting the hay at 7:30 was bliss! Friday morning came around and it was show time! The race went well with everything going plan except for the amazing speed in which teams did the tasks. We hadn't anticipated teams being so competitive and so keen! In the end it was a draw over the finish line and we decided on the spot that the best way to pick a winner was rock, paper, scissors. Congrats to dark purple on a great race and winner the 2011 Yarrie Minesite race! After this the only thing left to do was have some midstrenght drinks at the bar, listen to some great stories and watch the sky put on another lighting show.
As we left our trip included a tour of Port and South Hedland. Wow is all I can say and not in a good way. All in all it was a good trip and very much enjoyed! I think I'll look back at for a while to come and just think how ridiculous it really was.
