Comments
Today was a day filled with report writing and planning for our arrival in Hobart.
We also had a presentation by an expeditioner who was at Base Camp on Mt Everest when the avalanche hit about 18 months ago. It was quite sobering to see what the camp and surrounding villages looked like afterwards particularly when many of us know people caught up in the avalanche. It was also another example of how strangers come together and work side by side to assist those in need.
Cheers
Leanne, Simon and Amy
