Menindee Christmas Fair, Nyngan Christmas Carnival etc

Good morning everyone,

Sorry about last week’s edition, we had a great time though.

What a storm that was the other night, hope caravans and vehicles came out OK, Broken Hill and Mildura seemed to be hardest hit. Could still be the odd branch on a quiet road too so take care.

Apart from the usual weekly events, I think the next one is the Town and Country Ladies Luncheon in Ivanhoe next Saturday, if you’re in the area, drop in to the RSL Club and say you’re there.

Then the following Saturday the 26th. is the Menindee Christmas Fair. Check out the Menindee lakes while you are about it, great sight. Mind you if you are down in the ‘inside country’ then the Muswellbrook Cup Carnival is going to be a big day on the 25th. Then down to the bottom of the state, and the Buronga International Food Fair is on next Saturday as well, and of course heaps to see in Mildura and that neck of the woods.

While all this is going on there are regular tours taking place at Mungo, so give the NPWS office at Buronga a call and they will do the rest for you.

Should you be still kicking about in December, then try and take in the Nyngan Christmas Carnival and Markets on the 10th.  Fun there and plenty of water in the Bogan.

Must welcome a new contact to our group, Cherise Duncan at Louth, who does her bit for the Louth community, good stuff. Here’s one for inclusion in your 2017 trip, the Wentworth Junction Rally 2017, it’s on in July and of course we’ll keep you posted.

Numbers are slowing, Christmas festivities are on the agenda, Santa must be on the way. If you’re heading home have a safe trip and do it all again next year!

The weather is totally unpredictable so use caution and we’ll catch up next week. Cheers Bill Elliott,  WCTA.
