For the last two days it seemed as though the rest of the country was focusing on delays caused by the predicted cold snap. To us this just presented a greater challenge to prove ourselves worthy Bushmen.
Boulder was hosting a Stone Soup course with Totem to provide staff skill updates. A Stone soup course allows each participant the chance to present to the others on a given topic and in our case to then promote discussion on best practise in delivery. Ten people presented on a variety of topics broadly summarised by: tools, shelters and fire, followed by the associated topics of safety, appropriateness and environmental considerations. What really surprised me was how much can be learnt from people you work with everyday if prompted in a suitably hosted atmosphere. Thanks to Sam from Totem for the idea and to all the hard work that went into the presentations.
