Australian Post Card

2 November 1998

From Mrs. Glover

SADDLER SPRINGS near Carnarvon Gorge National Park was the site of our last field trip. The 30,000 acre cattle property is the home of an "outward bound" program for street kids in Australia. There's no electricity and cooking is done on a wood stove in the dining hall shown here or over a campfire.

The clean up area consists of two showers and a sink. There's hot water, but only if you "stoke the donkey", that is, only if you keep the fire burning under the 55 gallon hot water drum behind the showers.
