Hey all,
   Most people think of OZ [Australia} being "outback". Dry, hot, and
basically no snow. Well, they do have some snow in the mountains that
are located in the South East corner of the continent. 
   We donated a couple ICEBOXes to a fire unit that built igloos as a
fund raiser for a burn unit in a new children's hospital.
   The main organizer, Mick Holton, has set up a web page and has posted
the results of the benefit that was held a few weeks ago. 
   It's pretty cool, here's the URL:   http://www.pnc.com.au/~igloo/

Wow!
What a good story. Igloo looks pretty professional, too.
Is the icebox that box on a stick-thingy?

I was watching the guys building the igloo....not bad....looked pretty
solid.....however for my own back-country exploits I must say I prefer my
tent!!! - I'm too lazy to even build a snow cave...speaking of which, the
mountain scuttlebutt last weekend was they had found the snowboarders cave
with their heavy gear - but no snowboarders...Is this just scuttlebutt or
does anyone have an official source???
