Exp 14 (Suni W.) contact with Australia Jamboree
Expedition 14 crew member Sunita Williams speaks with scouts at the Australian Jamboree 2007(AJ2007).
The Australian Scout Jamboree is a jamboree which is held every three years in Australia. The jamboree is traditionally held in early January and runs for 10 days.
The first, in 1934, was held in Frankston, Victoria and was the only Australian Jamboree attended by the Chief Scout, Robert Baden-Powell.
AJ2007 is based in Elmore central Victoria Australia, we are in camp from the 1st to the 13th of January, 2007. It will be the 21st Australian Scout Jamboree, the first major Scout event in 2007 and thus the first to celebrate 100 years of Scouting. Between 13,000 and 15,000 adults and youth are expected to attend
Australia Jamboree contact
The organisers of the highly successful ARISS contact with the Australian Jamboree had strong competition for a loud rock music playing non-stop during the pre-arranged contact with the international space station.
Their response after 'Evermore', a popular band of three New Zealand brothers who seemingly declined a request to pause their performance during the ARISS link-up, was to apply Aussie ingenuity and rapidly create an insulating bunker out of hay bales.
This did the trick and the 20 scouts who won a "What would you ask an Astronaut?" competition were able to ask their question of Astronaut Suni Williams KD5PLB.
