Volunteering in Broken Hill

While in Broken Hill we able to park our caravan behind BCA House. This building was once a hostel for school children from outlying areas. Now it has multiple uses from church groups to over nighters by distant neighbours.
My job was to go through the linen cupboard and mark the sheets as either single or double, then put them in the cupboard in an organised way.
Brandt, on the other hand was in his element pruning/cutting down trees.





The school next door asked if Brandt could attend to the trees overhanging their entrance, so a scissor lift was hired for a day and away he went.


The clutter was cut into usable sizes and either taken to the green waste dump....


...or stored to be used as fire wood.



The back yard is large and so twice a week "work for the dole" workers arrive to plant/care for veggie gardens. They are told that they may take and use any ensuing veggies. The hope is that they will take the skills learned here and use them at home to grow their own veggies.









Brandt decided to cook pikelets for their morning tea.
