Ruth from Birdsville Caravan Park
Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year for 2006. I wonder if others found 2005 as challenging as I did - but I'm nothing if not optimistic and always look forward to trying to do better each year. Trust the Lear Jet landed on someone's runway to present them with the $32M from Lotto last night - if not, we still live in the greatest, safest, most beautiful country in the world - and on this
Forum, we all have each other. How lucky are we?
Weather today - hot, blowing northerly/norwesterly - dry as - temp around 42 at 10:30. Cold prawns for lunch today and cold
champagne - with those few people left in town. How good is that?
Very best wishes to everyone. Ruth and Ian.

G'day Ruth,
Maybeit's just me but I have just not seen you here for a while.
Sounds like
Birdsville is a bit like the
Hill at this time of year. Most people have left or are leaving. I head for north coast NSW tomorrow, very early, too early, gee it's a long way to the coast.
We had 41 at 10.30, haven't decided on lunch yet but I am at work so no champers for me.
All the best to you guys too.
Duncs

G'day Ruth,
Happy New Year to you and everyone else on EO.
A mild 39 here, at 12.20pm, but have the furnace winds blowing. Pleased we are able to share the 40+ degree weather with our southern friends. Should be more of it!
2005 was a good year for us, Ruth, but busy as!!! Handled over 42,000 head of cattle, about 2.5 times more than a "normal" year. Must have been that June rain, eh. Optimism, we had it by the bucketful this year, not bad for a born pessimist!
Looks like toasted sangers, and a cold beer here.
Thanks for your wishes, see you sometime in '06.
Kind Regards,
Bob
