7th Sept.
The passengers from last Tuesday’s Aussie Tour bus were given a special treat when Nev., guitarist and singer, entertained them for the evening. He and his wife were travelling through and decided Torrens Creek was the best place to spend the night. Obviously a seasoned performer, Nev. catered for all styles and tastes and kept the music going into the wee hours, to the glee of locals and passengers alike. Just goes to show, you never know what you might miss if you don’t stop for awhile.

Carole and Terry are away for two weeks well earned holiday. Welcome back to Shaz and Gaz who have returned for a stint behind the bar to keep us all happy while the holiday makers make merry. We hope they enjoy their stay with us.
Spring cleaning is the ideal time to sort out those unwanted items that could get a bit of cash so don’t forget the Car Boot Sale to help the Torrens Creek Progress Association on 18th September, between 9.30 am and 4.30 pm. Donation of a gold coin is all it costs to set up a stall. Coffee and tea will be available for a small charge.
The weather is behaving strangely. Over 25 ml. Sunday. The photo shows the cloud rolling in late afternoon. Not even the ants were prepared for it. We had nary a one in the house - but cockroaches are another story. I heard that Eucalyptus oil is an excellent defence against them so have been washing the floors and cupboards out with a mixture water and oil. It is not advisable to use more than half a cap to the bucket of water as it tends to make floors slippery.

I notice that the tourist traffic has decreased slightly but that didn’t deter these early birds at Pentland last Wednesday morning. The police were out in force, checking vehicles and breathalising drivers before 10am. This was quite a turn out for the little town. And it wasn’t even school holidays...
