Big Red Bash cancelled

.
Yes Stephen, it is very impressive to encounter Lake Nappanerica in flood for the first time having become accustomed to it being dry and most unlakelike previously. Big surprise as you crest the dune.

It's probably a good call it not going ahead this year, still a lot of flooding and fuel insecurity. The small towns are probably still doing ok, there are more vehicles travelling the outback than ever before and the Big Red Bash has only been going for 10 or 12 years, they survived before that.

Mick's Travels. Just spoke to a friend in Tibbuburra and she is cutting her shops hour because of the lack of traffic. She didn't even do that during COVID

I know a couple that volunteered both there and at Mundi Mundi.

Yes they did get free admission…..but you had to do your rostered times, from memory around 4 hours each day and if you did not, they then charged you, and where I sit, they were getting very cheap free Labor.

Some things in the world run on volunteers who like to give their time and help while others are profiting from their charity. Not my thing.
