firstly an apology, the show was supposed to be on ABC 1 and the episode with landsailing on Lake lefroy with our fleet of minis was supposed to be episode 3.
but it went to air on ABC 2 as episode 1,and I didnt realize till too late to let anybody know
some great footage of what our salt lake(lake Lefroy) looks like and some footage of landyachts sailing , if your good you may even see part of one of your old sails
Even given the art of film making and some smoke and mirrors, the participants did walk all the tracks,and lake crossings that they appeared to do.
hats off to them. even though I was in on the route discussions , i thought they would have watered down the distances and difficulty at that time of year ,but they didnt.
I think it will be repeated on sunday abc3 or on I view
Hats off to them, Landyacht?
ABC2 Wednesday nights. Each week, Do or Die will take a different workplace through some of the most gruelling challenges in the harshest Australian environments. These office workers will be pushed to their physical and psychological limits – all in the name of team building.
“Do or Die promises friction, deceit, gossip, rivalry, power plays, the stuff of every office. It will be compelling television with the added promise of true transformation, real jeopardy and serious adventure.”
As a bushwalker, I reckon it was all a bit insultive. And I still don't get the team-building stuff for corporate types from stuff like this.
Their method of carriage of supplies such was questionable - 2 of the 6 people were frequently seen carrying a large plastic box, heavy with food, using cord handles and bare hands...
I killed the volume when I heard the cheerleader state; 'I'm having problems conceptualising what you are trying to do... can't get it clear in my head' – one guy had taken leadership, and took 4 attempts to choose a suitable camp site. It was still light when they had finally set up, though.
I had an issue with how close everyone walked together, and why they carried such large gas-propellant type stoves – when they had a large wood fire each night.
It was of interest is that they had a go at land yacht sailing on WA's Lake Lefroy.
