Ernest Muswagon, Safety Presenter / Aboriginal Liaison
There is a lot of travelling involved with the work that I do. If it's within and around the city we use our own vehicles, but if it's outside the city, we rent a vehicle to use.
We've got travelling procedures so that there are almost always two of us on the road if we're going out of town. Travelling with a partner is always more safe and it gives us the opportunity to switch drivers if it's a long drive. And it's always nice to have the company!
Sometimes we fly when that's the only way into a community. But I'm a driver at heart. I love driving and I like to take my time on the highway and enjoy the scenery. Flying can also create challenges because once you get to the destination you're either walking or someone has to pick you up.
