We will update again soon



Hi again everyone,

Wow, been very busy here with a variety of groups coming through, from the usual bus tour groups to RFDS air race, which had 20 light aircraft on our airstrip to the Variety Bash on Wed night, bar didn’t close till 12.30am.

 

Les has been running tours on his own now for the last two days. He is taking tours to the Riversleigh Fossil fields which incorporate one of the first fossil dig sites at Riversleigh in 1976. The fossilised bones of animals here dated back from today to 25 million years ago, quite fascinating. Also doing short afternoon tours up a local hill for sunset viewing with wine and nibblies and a chat about Lawn Hill Station and the Century zinc mine which is only 7 k’s from here.

 

Susan is very busy each day at reception, dealing with the tours groups, local aborigines who come in for fuel, groceries etc and learning the RMS booking system.

 

We are both involved in helping with dishes etc of an evening and Les is also running the bar on various days.

 

We are feeling quite comfortable here, and have been made very welcome. One of the guys is already stirring Susan about her seeping the leaves around the van, they reckon they are going to put a board up and mark it each time someone sees her sweeping, good bunch of people.

 

We had also mad some friends from Bedrock and the Italian chef and her partner may be visiting us at home around Christmas time, so that would be great.

 

This one short and sweet but only have limited access to the net of course, but will update again as soon as we can. Be home again in a few weeks.
