Did you know ABC Foundation Ltd staff travel over 5000 kilometers a month across regional and remote Western Australia? ๐ช๐พ
This past month has seen staff travel across Carnarvon, Meekatharra, Broome, Derby, and Exmouth.
Our staff always make sure to stay safe when traveling long distances by not driving tired, making sure they don't have distractions, and always ensuring they have enough water and supplies in case of a breakdown or emergency.
With the increase of traffic on the roads throughout WA as a result of the border closure, we hope you are all staying safe too!
