Hello all,

For those of you who made Pooncarie, ‘good oh’, would have to have been a great show. No problem with wet roads I should think, and I’ve been advised by a lovely lady who follows the weather, that there’s no rain in sight for the next umpteen days. “Elsewhere fine” as the saying goes.

All roads lead in the Cobar / Nyngan direction for next weekend. Would you believe, not only the Cobar Show next Friday and Saturday, but, the Cobar Races are on Saturday as well. So why not make it a weekend and drop in to the Cobar Caravan Park and enjoy, Tracey will welcome you.

Of course you then have to head further towards the “inside country” and catch up with the Nyngan Show, which follows on. Now it’s worth going to both as they have entirely different things in some sections.

Once at ‘Nyngan on the Bogan’, you might feel like toodling up to Bourke and sample Andrew and Sarah’s camp oven dinner that’s on 2 nights a week, and he is really good at reciting a bit of poetry too they tell me, apart from everything else there is to do in Bourke.

Back on our own ‘turf’. We joined 30 or 40 very friendly campers at “Warrawong Caravan Park” last Wednesday evening for “happy Hour”. It was fantastic round the campfire, cheese and bikkies, tall stories! All good fun if you are travelling within coee of our little town. Speaking of which---, Miss Barrett’s Coffee Shop will be closed from next Thursday for about a week. Unfortunately we are unable to find a ‘shop caretaker’ to pour coffee etc. and we have a boy and his wife turning forty, (still a boy). So sorry for any inconvenience, however I’m sure Adrian will be open.

Unfortunately, it seems the Ivanhoe Camp Draft has had to be cancelled for this year, too dry and lack of stock for that reason. No doubt they will come back better than ever next year.

Also please note, the Peery Lake road at the top end of Paroo Darling National Park is still closed. Contact White Cliffs Visitors Centre on this one.

Last but not least!! Two BIG events coming up. White Cliffs Music Festival, all details next week, on the 15^th. to 17^th. only a couple of weeks away. And the Wilcannia Field and Fun Day, details soon, on Sunday 7^th. June.

So, once again, have a great week, look after your friend, a stranger is only a friend you haven’t met yet remember! Have a good one now, cheers Bill Elliott  WCTA.
