Wet road conditions, Cobar RSL Christmas in July, and more

Submitted by Admin on Mon, 11/Jul/2016 - 7:35am

Good morning all,

By the sound on the roof, all dirt roads are definitely a no no for the forseeable future, and would you believe there are some property owners very short of ground water. A nice sight in the river now though and more to come. Does that mean good fishing??

Again this week you are going to stick to the white line, saw  a heap of vans at the McCulloch’s Rest area this morning, beautiful sunrise, (how good am I?).

Now a bit happening on the bitumen, Cobar RSL Club has Christmas in July happening next Saturday. Never been to one but got to be a lot of fun. If you’re coming up from the south, the Ivanhoe RSL Club has that movie “Dressmaker” on also next Saturday.

If you duck down to Menindee for a look, (bitumen remember) then you must drop in at Maidens Hotel for a “Maidens own Marinated Chicken Burger”. To die for they tell me! If you do you’ll have to go back to Broken Hill, and catch the “Teddy bears Picnic Train” next Sunday.  The Penrose Park Picnic Train is also there in the Hill for all on every 3rd. Sunday.

I would be very careful venturing to any National Park this week. Not trying to put you off but please check first. Try Mick and Jo at Tri State Safari’s and they will have a trip full of fun on the “black stuff”.

All you good people staying at Warrawong Caravan Park, you could always slip up to White Cliffs and try out the new Menu at the Underground Motel, now under new management, a nice day trip.

It’s getting to that “find a good book” stage again I know, but also take time to listen to our fabulous radio stations, (election is fading!) We have, ABC western Plains 657, (I know, I’ve said it before!) ABC Broken Hill 999 and Wilcannia 1584, Broken Hill 2BH 567, Outback Bourke 585, and FM radios in all towns.

Tell you what, I’ll meet you at the Coffee Shop for a “Cap” and we’ll have a laugh. Please be really weary of road shoulders, (edge of bitumen) could be embarrassing, very wet.

Take care now, and who knows what next week will bring.  Cheers   Bill Elliott,  Wilcannia Tourist Association.
