Thanks Robyn,
We've just survived the Outback Festival last week and there was plenty of excitement then, along with a surplus of cold 'n flu germs.
There would be a muted excitement in the town, with the way the Centre is progressing, the extra workers in town and a number of locals working there as
well. The economy has probably dropped to a level that everyone has become used to, but is sure to accelerate once the Centre is open. Even the opening is sure to be a boost to businesses in the town.
The Outback Festival was huge, with lots of tourists in town, all accomodation booked out and the overflow of caravans sent out to the
Showgrounds. Someone suggested 500 'vans!
First 40° day of Spring forecast today, so there'll be a steady stream of travellers heading east over the coming weeks.
