Mozzies and Sunscreen!

On Saturday evening the advance party finally made it to base camp. After a long journey and a lot of work they arrived with all of the container contents. The sun was shining and they were all relived to be there. They also all had 'silly smiles' as they absorbed the scenery that surrounded them. The local mozzies were also waiting to welcome them on arrival so the main advice from the advance party was 'remember your mozzie net and sunscreen'.

The next few days are all about getting base camp set up and organised ready to welcome the main party who arrive there on Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Its a busy time at base camp and its a busy time for the main party travelling out. We do not expect to be able to update the blog for at least a week so please do not be put off by the lack of communications - we are too busy travelling and having fun! Here are a few more pics from the advance party ... it was hard work - honest!
