Jim and the Shower Bus

Lindsey Francis from RC Matilda Bay has organised for Jim Mellor who facilitates the Shower Bus to speak to us.

Brollie Brigade shower truck

The original shower truck supplied by an Eastern states company was suddenly taken away for service  elsewhere.  Anotheer company stepped in as a temporary solution with a shower trailer which could only supply one shower at a time .

A suitable truck could not be found in WA, one was sourced in Queensland. Redstone Transport Pty Ltd guided the truck through 4 states.

It had to go over inspection pit  for registration and insurance before the refit planning could be started.

Thanks to a lot of companies coming on board to help rebuild and fit out the truck with financial backing from companies and Rotary clubs, it was completed. It now boasts two showers, with a hairdressers area at the back, to make it independent of water and power it has solar panels, clean water and grey water tanks. This means it can go anywhere to help people needing a shower.
