Encounter Centre - Wooden Toys

Today we visited my brother at Victor Harbor (80km south of Adelaide). He took us on a tour of the Encounter Centre, where he is manager. The centre is a community based charity that runs a variety of activities, in particular programs for people with special needs.

One of their main activities is the manufacture of quality wooden toys. The rocking horse shown here is a fine example of their products.

Sea Rescue Services

In South Australia marine rescue services are provided by volunteer groups. In the Adelaide area there are two main organisations - the SA Sea Rescue Squadron and the Australian Volunteer Coast Guard Patrol. In addition to organization owned boats such as the one shown, members' private boats are called upon in the event of a major emergency. The Surf Lifesaving South Australia jet boats (pictured yesterday) may also be involved.
