Skogsröj 2005

Here i am somewhere on the west coast of Sweden... In Lysestrand to be precise, 100km north of Göteborg. I'm at the Scout jamboree! Currently in a canvas office at midnight, trying to think of anything I can do to help my colleagues on the Camp Newspaper which they are currently writing in Swedish!! Not a lot i can do there to help... German and English only get you so far. It's incredible, 3,500 Scouts on this nature reserve next to a fjord. The weather is just the worst!!

But the food is great and the people are soooooo friendly and so damn fluent in English. I tried to do a good job as the Aussie contingent when they called out 'Australia!' but as I'm the only one here, it wasn't so easy. But there is one Aussie flag flying alongside all the other countries' flags just because I am here. 'Kissing Point Rover Crew' needs way too much explanation though. Why can't we just call ourselves 1st Central Turramurra?
