“What a great project! I am looking forward to seeing the positive
difference a challenge like this will make in the lives of kids all around
the place. What you guys do is fantastic!”
CRU Lake Mac played host to Federal Member for Hunter, Mr Dan Repacholi, on Tuesday 18th June to officially open the second climbing tower and dual zipline, with 30 VIP guests and staff in attendance.
A short ceremony was held at the base of the second tower in which CRU’s Chairman, David Braga, and CEO, Gary Hill, thanked the Australian Government and other contributors for their generous support of this project. Dan Repacholi followed, sharing his enthusiasm for this exciting project and cutting the ribbon to officially open the tower and zipline.

Guests had the opportunity to ride the 147m long zipline after formalities were completed. Dan Repacholi made the journey safely (with just a little trepidation), as did CRU’s Chairman, David Braga and Treasurer, Ian Bucknell. All expressed their enthusiasm for this thrilling new activity and looked forward to seeing how it impacted children in the years ahead.
Our prayer is that this climbing tower and zipline, the first of its kind in the Hunter Region, will attract many young people to camps at CRU Lake Mac, where they can not only harness up for thrilling activities such as this, but also learn to put their trust in the God who loves them.
