The Royal Band in Action

People come from the four corners of the Realm to hear the Royal Band. This snap was taken during an intense 'jam' session using Guitar Hero - a Christmas present to the Princesses.

homeward Bound!

The many sights to be had on the way to or from Birdsville. Paddy melons abound by the roadside near Sealake.

Barren, dry, we are in a drought.

Silos stand empty, making a forlorn backdrop to the now quiet towns. Gone is the busyness and bustling of the towns dotted along the rail lines. Please God send more rain. Please humans - be more careful in your use of our precious water.








The Littlest member of the Royal family enjoying her first Christmas. She was the centre of attention for the entire day. It was hot in Birdsville! But the Royals had plenty of amber ale, coke and wine on tap along with the 27 bags of ice needed over the 2 days of festivities! The ham, turkey, prawns and pudding wre eaten with gusto. Dinner was home made ravioli and sauce. I don't know where the diners managed to put it, maybe they had 3 stomachs (like the cow) and just used the first 2 for lunch! Thanks Lord and Lady Brewer for a lovely time in your new home.
