Hi all
Today some unfortunate family left a child behind at the
Pink Roadhouse in
Oodnadatta. 7 hours later, they still haven't returned. One of the risks of convoy travel if the kids are swapping between vehicles.
I'd be sweating blood if it happened to me. It was bad enough when we left our dog behind, and had to backtrack 2 hours to get him. I reckon I'd have to let someone else drive back if it was my kid.
Cheers
John

places but they keep finding their way
home, and still at
home 21 & 25 y/o's. Nahh only joking, I remember going to one of the big shopping centres in
Sydney when they were little and one decided to take the escaltor to the next level ,gone in a flash, wife was frantic until an announcment over p/a looking for lost parents.

In a quiet little farming valley, just west of Willem's abode, is the Pekina pub. It's
well off the main drag up to the Flinders ex
Adelaide.
If you have heard of
Magnetic Hill, it's towards
Orroroo from there.
I popped in, just for one or two, & got talking, on a quiet Friday, to the Publican. He & his wife had just taken over and had previously lived in Lobethal (a German town in the
Adelaide Hills). They were about my age-ish.
So naturally I asked why they had become publicans at this stage of their lives. The response was:
"Our kids wouldn't leave
home so we did........"
