Rain, planes and roads

Submitted by Admin on Mon, 29/Jun/2015 - 9:05am

Hello everyone,

Well, the “paper planes” didn’t fly in Wilcannia last week, would you believe the ground was too wet at the venue. It does happen in Wilcannia!

A lot of travellers had to rearrange their travel plans too with the welcome rain. So hope you all can get to your destinations this week, with sunny days and a bit of wind the roads are drying out really well.

Check the Central Darling Shire Road Report, they cover pretty well all roads in the far west area.

Now, what’s on, well the big event is on at Milparinka, their annual Gymkhana see the flyer attached. The road will surely be open by then so go enjoy yourself.

Then the next weekend, if you are near Broken Hill the Community Markets are happening on the 11th. 8 AM till 2PM. Stock up your frig. etc. and if you are around White Cliffs, then Robin Taylor is holding an “Art Workshop” on the 11th. and 12th. The people up there will look after you.

Again if you are heading to the “inside country” then take in the Aberdeen Highland Games, there’s something different for you. You’ll have to be there next Saturday or you’ll miss out.

Don’t forget, the school kids in Menindee are doing Afternoon tea for you all at the Beyond Cafe, every Sunday in July. Home cooked goodies, support them if you’re within a bull’s roar of the place.

Did I tell you, Miss Barrett’s Coffee Shop is changing hands next weekend. Chris and I are out and a lovely lady from Bourke, Julie Murphy is moving in and will really look after you. Drop in and say hi, and if you are in town on Thursday or Friday Chris will have some farewell bargains you might be interested in.

Looking ahead, the Warren Polocrosse Carnival and Races on the 25th. / 27th. weekend. And if you are still out this way, then the NSW Tourism Awards are a must in Broken Hill on the 25th. more later on that.

Happy travelling this week, watch out for wet edges on the roads and wash outs that break springs! Take care now, Bill Elliott  WCTA.
