Comments

A day of milestones with 14 expeditioners celebrating 500 days since they left Hobart and a birthday for Martin who was happy to receive a tub of ice cream instead of a cake!

Yesterday the buskers performed beyond expectations. Two guitar soloists sang their own songs and some covers, Alice broke out her full size harp and Graham played some pieces on his smaller harps (mouth organs), Peter joined them for a finale. The hat was passed round and $2097.05 was donated to Camp Quality!

Cheers

Andy, Margaret and Kate.
