Media Workshop; Youth Trust Presentation & Moving House

Wow! What a Wednesday! The day started with a Media Workshop at the Norfolk Island Government Tourist Bureau. Glen Buffett had arranged for Anna from UTC to come to the Island and whilst here she gave a number of workshops to various groups, explaining how to utilise the best from social media. This happy little group pictured below encompasses NIGTB staff, Jason our Tourism Officer and the ladies from the Legislative Assembly.

 It was a fascinating workshop which saw us leaving a couple of hours later, all fired up to get into social media. What greeted us driving up the road but a house! With delight we followed it only to find it stuck under some electricity lines on its way to its new paddock.
 The electricity boys were right on site of course, (with one sitting on the roof) so within a very short space of time the power was off; the lines were raised; the house was freed; and they were on the road again
 It doesn't look like much here but if you look at the power lines just above his helmet.......
 ... and then look at the sharp curve in the road ~ you will see that there was a very fine line!
 Then back to the Gas Centre where a cheque for $500 was presented to Chris Gatehouse, President of the Cheryl Tennis Club from the Youth of Norfolk Island Sporting Trust Fund, to assist with the financial costs of sending James Elliott to Fiji for the Tennis Championships. James is doing really well in his tennis, as well as also studying for his Higher School Certificate. Well done James!
 Gae Christian and Messes Gate busy discussing what on earth is going on with handshakes; cameras and cheque! Rieli, es noen a dem tuu's besnes!
 Then on our way out we thought we'd give another running check on what was happening with the house. It was again on its merry way...
... shortly to take up its new places of residence at Cascade.

See Anna! How enthused you have us! Today a blog. Tomorrow a Pinboard! See you around.
