Today, 9 students from Jungdranung Remote Community School in the Kimberley visited Books in Homes at Milsons Point in Sydney. They were accompanied by their Principal Sue Smith and her husband Garry.
Jungdranung is located 150 km east of Kununurra, on a road that can take over 5 hours to navigate.

These guys have traveled 15 hours on Sunday to get to Sydney - lets put some perspective into this trip, you can jump on a plane in Sydney and fly for 14-15 hours and arrive in LA or India - this is an enormous effect especially if it's your FIRST trip away from home!!

These students had all met the attendance criteria set by the school for the year.
After a good nights sleep, the Jungdranung kids jumped on a ferry from Manly and visited the Taronga Zoo on Monday. Tuesday, they visited the Dinosaurs at the Australian Museum and caught up with Books in Homes for Fish 'n' Chips in our boardroom.
