GBA are proud to again sponsor the Bedourie races! Stuart Bourne presenting the winnings. 

​GBA invited staff past and present, their families and partners to dinner and camping at Lara Wetlands where they provided a “Lamb on a spit” with assorted camp oven prepared veggies, ably cooked by Stu, Jason and Matt B. It was a fantastic meal to follow on from their efforts last year, well done gentlemen. While dinner was being prepared people took the time to enjoy Lara’s thermal pool, throw a Frisbee around or just relax by the camp fire.

It has been 20 years since Hans has left GBA. He returned home to Barcaldine for a visit and to share some stories about surveying in the tough gidgee timber country.
