There is certainly no problem going where you wish at the moment, all roads everywhere are certainly dry!

If you always wanted to go to the Edinburgh Tattoo, here's the next best thing. Head to Condobolin next weekend. They have bands coming from all over the state for the Condobolin Tattoo. It's only held every 3 years, so if you miss it, goodness knows where you will be in 3 years time. It is one of the biggest displays of bands in NSW, and you have to book, limited seats, so contact Heather Jones, Condo. RSL and enjoy.

Next weekend also is the Wentworth Junction Rally. Takes up the full week-end, vintage machinery, paddle steamers, and a host of ladies "thing-me-bobs" in the town hall. Big weekend in Wentworth.

There is a lot on next weekend, the Mudgee Small Farm Field Days are also on the go, and you can't get to them all, decisions!

If you're near Menindee, the CWA have a Car Boot Sale on the 23rd. You'll enjoy a day in Menindee.

Moving on, the Lightning Ridge Opals and Jem Festival is happening from the 27-30th. Duck up through Bourke and check out the old river town on the way.

Now moving into August, we have the Nyngan Ag. Expo, 5th. August, it's always good to see. And of course that same weekend, the big Western Landcare Forum is happening in Broken Hill, 5th and 6th.

One last one to remember, Cobar Picnic Races, if you are that way inclined, are set down for the 26th. August.

So, again a very full weekend coming up, as well as all the trillion little things our other small towns have to offer. Take it all in and enjoy. Our 2 Caravan parks here in Wilcannia are "splitting at the seams" so enjoy.

Till next week, do something you've never done before, 

Cheers Bill Elliott.  WCTA.
