Hello hello

Welcome to another week of the SLF. Well what a weeks it’s been as we kissed the drought goodbye and an above average season is looming. I had a good look around the district and things look great. Dams full, Rivers and creeks running, it’s certainly beats the dust….Here are a couple of pictures above....

Winners are grinners

I picked up the latest edition of the Bombay Times (Buloke Times) and what do I see?? The winning Marnoo pool team, they seemed a very happy bunch after there come-from-behind win. I’m told that Dave “The Weed” Weideman played his best game ever under a huge amount of pressure to clinch the win.

Huge effort

Call it madness, call it what you like but Aaron Hemley’s 48 hour shearing record was amazing and had to be seen to be believed. I called in and had a look about Friday lunchtime and he was going great guns, I also caught up with Marnoo gun shearer Jimmy “James” Anderson who was wondering around Central Park in half a daze. He hadn’t been to bed either and was feeling the pinch a little. So that just proves how monumental the effort was as just staying awake for that long is a huge effort in itself. Chuck in 904 sheep and you get some sort of idea of how hard it would be. Well done, I think they raised $100,000K. Also I reckon they should have done it in Melbourne, would have raised millions….

Thursday night at the Royal

I was privileged to attend “Thursday night at the Royal” last week and I can see what all the hype is about. An amazing night and the effort the “chef of the day” put’s in is huge. I bet it will be even bigger when the weather warms up and they can move out to the deck. Well done to all.
