Cutting Down Bamboo

Whilst visiting the communities we stopped off at Kelly’s property and cut down some bamboo which we will use to make activities for children on the SE project. We are trying to adapt activities we know and make them using materials which are freely available in the migrant communities and will not cost the parents any money. Big and I had a discussion as to which was better, a saw or a machete, to cut the bamboo. I am still not convinced that the machete is better after trying both but Big would not use the saw. Wendy showed her strength by carting the bamboo back to the truck. We now have a stash of bamboo and will let you know how we go adapting different activities.
