Crew Notes
The McEwin Crew
The McEwin family coordinate and promote the MacRod on the Murray (MROM) Charity Project.
The Land Crew
The land crew provides logistical, psychological and nutritional support. It also 'primes' media and political promotional opportunities to encourage donations for the charity.
Bob and Sue Warren are the foundation members of the MacRod on the Murray Land Crew. Bob and Sue were Rod's 'tour guides' on the reconnaissance of the South Australian Murray.
Fraser McEwin was the first to act as land crew on a board trip, at Lake Mulwala near Yarrawonga. Fraser did a sterling job on a tricky section of the trip and in very hot weather.
Bob and Sue Warren resumed their role at Blanchetown in February 2008 to steer the project through inaccessible stretches of the river to Swan Reach and beyond. More details of the trials of this particularly challenging section of the river are available on the Trip Report pages.
Byron Scott stepped into the breach at very short notice to crew for the Murray Bridge to Wellington Leg. This involved some complicated coordination on different sides of the river, and lunch!
All members of the land crew have been extremely generous with their time, ideas and expert assistance. They are all now officially known as Land Crew Legends.
Additional land crew will be pressed into action as soon as they volunteer!
