Preparations are continuing for the 2014 Field Season at Eric the Red West.
The crew list is close to being finalised. We had more than 20 wonderful keen engaged applicants for new crew spots, and Lisa has succeeded in squeezing in one or two more than we had decided we could possibly fit!
Dave and Lisa are heading out to Bimbi Park this week to finalise the accommodation.
The organisers are busy reviewing all of the paperwork we need to make this all official such as field guidelines and risk assessments.
Pip will once again be camp chef next year, and is busy planning all sorts of yummy, cheap and filling food for more than 20 people a day.
Dave and Lesley are reviewing equipment, making sure all the chisels are sharp machinery serviced.
... it's going to be fun.

2014 Rookies
This weekend we will visit Flat Rocks with more than 20 new volunteer applicants for the 2014 dig season. We'll put them through their paces, showing them how to tell the spot bone in the rock, carry equipment up and down the stairs, move rocks and bucket water. I'm not sure whether we'll do the traditional dig-a-big-hole-in-the-sand or not; that skill is far more useful at Flat Rocks than Eric the Red West. It will be a fun but full-on day. We may even find some good fossils.
