Back To The River

Yet another trip earlier this month. It was to Lake Eldon, Goulburn River to do some Risk Assessment Management (RAMs) in water activities such as canoeing and white water rafting. Since the drought, the water level of the lake has been low. This is about 20 percent of its full capacity.


We canoed, played some water games and did some group management scenarios.


Sometimes its not easy to tell the difference between lecturers and students. Here is Dingers acting cute and to think that he is 60!


Time to get the white water experience in...


We were trying to surf in the rapid...not so easy with a raft. We flipped a couple of times trying to stay in it. As a result, one of my big size ang moh classmates landed on me, sending me underwater and I ended up with a bloody mouth. Wasted! No photo of that!

As usual, you get more people watching than people in boats. The water still gets rather cold cos it runs down from the mountains.


The other highlight of the trip was to drive the uni's mini-bus towing a trailer behind. Got the hang of it after a while but it gets tricky when it comes to reversing. At first most of the ang mohs ran to the other bus cos they don't trust the Asian on the wheel. Too bad! They got to get use to seeing me driving them around more in future cos they are too young and I am now a official uni bus driver on trips!
