The days are hot and sunny, and the team is finding
the heat exhaustion, But their is room for fun, 
and swinging on the doors is a test on good workmanship.




It is all completed on day 4.
Well done to the 6 builders of the Hibiscus Coast Team from
Auckland. 


Here is the team arriving back at Sutherland house, 
and are getting ready to pack for a return flight 
on Wednesday to NZ


This team arrived at Midnight on Sunday from the
Otago Polytechnic in Dunedin.
They are heading out to Paama at 7am on Monday
so we have some really shattered people 


Checkin for this Otago team was at 5.00am


They brought too much baggage!!!!so nearly another disaster.
