Well, I wonder how many of you saw Channel 9 decimate our little town on their Saturday night news. An ill-informed reporter looking for sensationalism has put our quest to be a friendly town back another few years.

Sure hope those camp ovens were sizzling at Menindee over the week end and the fish were biting. Don’t forget that Menindee is the place to be next week end also when they have the Darling River Golf challenge next Saturday. This is followed by their Country and Western Night at the Hall.

Now the Underground Arts Festival is not far away up at White Cliffs, that’s the 26-7-8^th. And if we go out a bit further, we have the 5 Rivers Outback Festival in Balranald on the 10/12^th. October.

But then there’s a lot going on over the Long Week end too, which I will cover next week.

Spoke to Steve at Bourke just then, not a lot going on up there, ‘cept  Hullie’s Poetry on a Plate, definitely not to be missed.

Not a lot else to report this week, I’ll do better next Monday!

Take care now, and travel safe, cheers Bill Elliott  WCTA. 

btw, just got word from Cathy at Cobar, their New Gold Cobar Rodeo, is on this weekend, 13-14^th. If I’d put that in next Monday,??? Anyway all you travellers that are near Cobar, guarantee they will look after you. Cheers again Bill
