Wasn’t that really great rain, holds up the travellers for a day or two but the roads will dry out soon. I think all got a little bit this time.

It’s all happening along the river this time. Starting up at Louth, we have their big bi-annual Field Day next Saturday. Lots of trade stands and a great day guaranteed.

Then we duck down to Menindee. They have their Golf week end next week on the 6, 7, and 8th. night golf and all, over 3 days, lots of fun.

In between those 2 is the Wilcannia Field and Fun Day, on Sunday. We have the Wilcannia Gift foot race over 3 km. Wool bale rolling, hay bale rolling, Mog with her horses, and probably the best known name in the west in Pip Hudson with his sheep dogs. 13 Trade stalls and a photo competition.

Now Driver Reviver will be operating here in Wilcannia as well on next Saturday, Sunday and Monday if you need an espresso coffee, tea or hot chocolate as you pass by.

Stretching the calendar a bit further out, there is the Topar Camp Draft coming up on the 28th. only a few weeks away, and while you have a pen in your hand, mark down the 11-12 13th. July to head to Tilpa! They have their 3 day Fishing Comp. Sponsored by the Tilpa Pub. What a weekend.

No word from “The Inside” country this week, if you have an event in there, rattle the keyboard so I can let everyone know, the more the travellers know about the more we will see of them.

Again, till next week, stoke up the fire and enjoy yourself, cheers Bill Elliott, WCTA
