My name was written on the wall in the bar somewhere. Probably long gone by now.
Mine was on the ceiling, got dakked while putting it there. That was on the same day that they reversed the grader over the septic tank and it collapsed, never seen so many flies in my life

"The Noccundra pub used to be an interesting stop too "

Nothin's changed. Still a great place.
Had to go there on two ocassions last year. Some of the best people you will ever meet live out that way.

The sore head wasn't too bad, but combining it with the riding of horse and 450 MX bike in the Ghymkhana caused me some angst

Yep, the Pelicans are on the move in southern Vic.
They've sensed it alright!
Incredible how they've sensed it and all while a massive monsoon trough lies across the north.
Here goes the big migration

Settle down boys, no birds are moving, no fish ar swimming. Wait about 3 to 4 months and see if any more rain has fallen further south and assess it then.

Its a long way to LE and an awfull lot of water is required to go anywhere near filling it!

Do they still do the seven course dinner (six pack 'n' a pie)?
And sell the 'Save Trees - Burn a Greenie' bumper stickers?

Yes, indeed! A generous reduction in TOW!

I thought you were talking about the William Creek Pub Forkie! That looks somewhat like the Birdsville pub if my blurry memory serves me right. Both fine watering holes never the less!
