In the jungle, the mighty jungle, the Venturers sleep tonight!

The venturers started the day with a spot of radio training with Wendell and then split into groups and headed out to the surrounding fields to test their radios and give their first SITREPS. When they are out on project sites they will have to give SITREPS twice daily to let us know what they are up to and of course give us information to put on the blog!

Then it was time to pack and head off into the jungle. A short trek and the venturers arrived at jungle camp full of energy and ready to learn how to live in the jungle.

Dear Vicky Lo & Dawn Lee,

Saw you guys in the photos! It's amazing seeing you appear on the same place on the other side of the world that I've been before. Enjoy the "Gallo Pinto"!

Hi Oli Millward

Mum, Dad, Chris, Lu, Benny and Tigga are all in the Palace of Crystals, wondering how you are. We know you have arrived in the jungle and have started work on the pipeline. Chris wants to know if you're getting a good purchase in your hammock...Mum says "would you like your rich tea biscuits parachuted in?"
...Dad says "are you getting enough to eat because Mum thinks your plate looks empty on the photos".
And I say "you is like the guvenor innit?"
Lots of love xxxxxx
