A bit of history comes to Orroroo






Today we had a visit from a car that first went through orroroo in 1908. it was the first car to travel from Adelaide to Darwin. There are celebrating 100 years but this time the car is travelling nearly all the way on the back of a trailer stopping along the way to be on display. A couple of photos showing a bit of colour in the garden at present. Did one and a half days of shearing 30 points of rain hopefully will get going again on thursday if there is no more rain tonight.

The flowers look great.

Even without the trailer, I'm sure that the car would find the trip easier now with flat, solid road all th way. Can't imagine the road would have been very good 100 yrs ago!

Thanks for the post -Debbie

Hiya. I see from your Facebook status dad that you are 'taking a break from shearing'. I hope that means lots of lovely rain. Calvin was really disappointed when I told him you were shearing this week and not next!

Just letting you know that I found a 'Christmas in July' stand in CasC today and bought 6 Christmas crackers for the kids. Natalie and I have 'beefed' them out a bit.

Hugs -Debbie
