Good morning to you all,

Was talking to a lovely lady at the National Party Conference in ‘the Hill’ on Saturday, she said she reads this each week on ‘facebook’, amazing where it goes!

Great Conference too by the way, met a lot of nice people. Now apart from that, If you’re near Menindee tomorrow then drop in for their Biggest Morning Tea and support a great cause. If you’re not in a hurry then you could easily put in a few days there and go along to their Church Fete on the 27^th., next Saturday.

You’ve missed out on the White Cliffs Music Festival, it’s over, and what a show. But, don’t forget the Craft days every Friday up there at the Red Earth cafe, you’ll have fun ladies.

Now word has just come in from Margaret at Bourke, the Outback Show has just started in Bourke. It’s on 6 days a week starting at 11AM each day. Call in to the Info. Centre and Margaret will fill your day for you. There’s heaps, Poetry on a plate, River cruises, Jenny’s Gallery, and big mobs more.

Our little bit of rain would not have disrupted your travels too much I guess. Not much anywhere was there. As I told you our Wilcannia Field and Fun Day is a no go on the June long week end but I’m told the Topar Campdraft is happening on the 17/18^th. June, so why don’t you poke along there, bitumen road too!

Forgot to remind you all lately, we have our ‘dump site’ operating here in Wilcannia now. On the highway beside the oval, heaps of travellers stopping. And you can top up with water (filtered) down at the BP, John, Pat or Michael will look after you there. Which of course makes us an “RV Friendly town”. Scrumpous chine food, fantastic coffee shop, get your tyres mended and stay at a top line Caravan park!  We’re getting better all the time here in Wilcannia!! Oh by the way, there’s a Big Morning tea on at Dareton on the 25^th. (next Thursday) if you’re passing.

Don’t forget the Silver City, Tri-State tours and Mootwingie National Park Tours happening all the time and loads to see in ‘the Hill’ at all times.

Best be off now, hope you have a great week, ring if I can help. Bye for now, Bill Elliott.  WCTA.
