Ahhhh! Now to the lovely biannual Woodgate water sampling job that Kaine and Maureen completed so efficiently recently… well mostly efficiently. Since the last trip, K & M have a new respect for the instablility of disturbed sandy soils. The photographs tell the story. Seriously though, this job is on a beautiful site and the samplers are treated to a visual spectacular in winter months when the wildflowers provide a scenic distraction as they furiously work their way around the many sampling points.

Now that Paul is back from a week (can\’t let him out of the ofice for too long!) camping in a river bed at Running Waters a few hundred kilometers out of Alice Springs, it\’s all go in the IMEMS office though we did of course keep beavering away while the big boss was out of town. Current jobs are involving Paul, Kaine and Maureen (a recent mature age graduate of an Environmental Scence Degree who is doing some casual work with us) in operational management and compliance works with one our special longer term clients; ongoing water monitoring, sampling and reporting and some interesting soil testing of chemical barriers. We\’re hoping soon to be involved in some the environmental mangagement works related to a new distillery and sugar mill.
