Wilcannia region May 2026 events calendar

 Hello,

Another month is about to end and a new one begin. The weather is cooling down but rainfall is scarce and it's not looking good for many farmers. The tourist numbers are considerably less than normal as the fuel crisis impacts everyone.

Anzac Day events were really well attended. The Dawn Service at Nyngan had a great crowd which is wonderful to see. This year I ventured out to Girilambone to their Anzac Day ceremony as I had donated a Lone Pine Tree I had grown from a seed. It looks wonderful planted in its forever home. (Here's hoping the feral goats and roos leave it alone). There was a crowd of over 60 at the ceremony which was great for the Girilambone community.

There are still a lot of events happening across the west and interstate. If you know of any events I may have missed please let me know asap.

“The red earth stains your boots and steals your heart.”

Have a great day.

Kind Regards
Donna Pumpa
