First they practiced at the academy going off a wall.... not too scary at all
From the wall at the academy to this cliff at the Cascade Brewery in South Hobart... a little bit scarier.
At Blackman's Bay- training to raise an injured person in a stretcher up a cliff.
On the cliff...
And over you go...
As the day drew to a close Simon got some magnificent shots of the sunset. One of the pluses of the job I suppose is the breathtaking scenery they will encounter as they trek where few have gone before.
The challenges got bigger and the next task was traversing the Mt Wellington organ pipes. I reckon those views were worth it though.
The last and biggest challenge of all was the Gordon Dam at Strathgordon. As you look up from the bottom of the dam, the group look like tiny dots up the top waiting to abseil down.
I don't know these guys but they look very tired.... dreaming of a warm bed and shower no doubt.

Oh wow - some amazing photos there. How scary, and exciting at the same time. Bet Simon is glad it is all over.
oh yes, I'm homesick now! Only 8 weeks to go now though!!!! Photos great Simone, Simon did a fantastic job getting people to document it for him! I would NEVER do anything high like that. Freaky!
