The latest working bee at Kinaba saw our volunteers Ken, Telena, David, Laurie, Mike, Jan, Bob, Lesley and Ian, Sue and Charlie painting, oiling, de-scaling or replacing corroded structural nuts, bolts, plates, and repaired water leaks and window and door screens.  

National Parks were able to support us by supplying sandpaper and brushes.  Another busy and productive morning at Kinaba.

We have now had 4 working bees as part of the restoration of the Kinaba Information Centre.  A team of 4 to 6 people head up to Kinaba early on Geronimo, most often sailing both ways.  Each bee is 4 to 6 hours of work, and a delicious spot for morning tea.
