28 June Sunday in Longreach

Longreach Baptist Church starts at 9am, yes we made it and received a very warm welcome.. Really good attendance, full range of age groups, great singing and an excellent message by the Pastor. We left at the singing of the last song - 10.30! I was a bit surprised that there were no Aboriginal people there.

We went straight to the Stockman's Hall of Fame for the hour long 1 man 'Show', he was wonderful he worked with 3 different types of horses, 5 dogs, a small mob of sheep,a mule,  a huge bull, and his guitar, golly he could sing. His main quarter horse did everything except speak, he had it refusing to have a blanket put on, lay down on its back and put its feet in the air for him to clean them (because he had a sore back!). The horse lay down so he could sit in its hind quarters and sing to us. I guess you can see, we enjoyed it. The Museum it self would take a full day to read all the stories that were up for display. It was an eye opener as to hard early days were in this outback. I'm glad I was born at a later time.

We sat at the show with Bruce & Dianne Ford, they are going very well. We don't seem to stay at the same places but these catch ups are great.

We had a late lunch at the Qantas Founders Museum, Brian's was part of his package from yesterday and then he went through the Museum there. I went home and did the washing (Jan it took me 3 tries to even get a machine!!!) $4 per load and then I couldn't reach the clothesline..... a kind lady took pity on me & hung the towels, the rest I put on our little folding rack. That's anything I need to take when I go the the laundry .... A step ladder!

I won at Yahatz AGAIN.

Shopping in Pioneer days was not for me!.
