We had a visit from Wombat and his lovely wife on Wednesday. We sat and chatted (and seemed to graze constantly) for about 4 hrs. They are coming to the Seabird Get Together. It isn't very often he comes out of his burrow so we are looking forward to catching up with them again in a few weeks

There are thousands of caravans camped out at in Birdsville for the races. I can't believe the are no Grey Nomads here. If you are here, I can be found at the Markets near the Information Centre. We have an opal stall called " Alladins Opals" Come on over. The kettles on.
