The Kologha Boardwalk - When Dreams Become Reality PDF Print E-mail

brodie_moodie_006In October 2006, Stan Dugmore, who runs the Forest Way Outdoor Outreach programme in Stutterheim was inspired by a small, wheelchair bound school girl.

Little Brodie Moodie was only in Grade 1 at the time and was part of the Clarendon class attending the yearly outing to Forest Way. Unable to take part in the obstacle course and races, Brodie was adamant that she would join her friends on the walk to the waterfall.

Impressed by her enthusiasm and courage, Stan discussed the possibility with the accompanying teachers. It was decided to change from the electric wheelchair to the manual chair with thicker wheels in order to tackle the yellow route as far as the first waterfall.  To this day he is still not sure how they managed it, but they did.  It took an exceptionally long time, navigating the bumpy path and at times quite nerve racking for Brodie as in places, the narrow path crumbled towards the edge and the wheelchair had to be tipped on its side.  This courageous little girl was pushed and bumped until finally they reached the waterfall.
