Happy New Year from GMi

Happy 2013 from everyone here at GMi! 2012 was an interesting year for us which saw new clients, new modes of delivery and new gear, we had some great times in 2012 with our fantastic clients and each other, and we hope to continue this in 2013.

Things we are particularly looking forward to include the projects on Dirk Hartog Island and in our states southern forests, the completion of the project based in the Little Sandy, further uptake of our SCORM based corporate video and training packages (which has seen some fantastic interest of late), more adventures for Lamby and a whole host of projects we cant even talk about yet… But watch this space.

So a massive thank you to all of those who made our 2012 so memorable and here’s to the many new and exciting things that 2013 brings.

Breakfast in the desert

GMi has recently returned from another trip to the Little Sandy Desert.

A lot of people ask us how rough the conditions are out there and we can now reveal that whilst on station we live in the lap of luxury!  The Homestead is a small oasis of green, 200km from the sealed roads and 100km from its nearest neighbor.  In summer we sleep under the stars and in winter we all cram into the homestead for warmth.  Temperatures in summer top 46 degrees but in winter we are scraping ice from the cars.

 

 

Food is a vital part any trip and we all re-live our college days with a mix of tinned things on toast, BBQs and camp fire cook-ups.  The trip is harder on the vehicles – so far we have speared 2 tyres and got 1 puncture – keeping in touch by sat phone is vital.

We are looking forward to our next adventure – stay tuned for more stories from the outback!
