With a young family on both sides for the last couple of days, it hasn’t been the quietest spot and today was move out day for both. Unfortunately, they started packing up and the kids making racket at 5:30Am. No sleep in for me today. I did grab a couple of hours after they left.

After brunch, it was down to the pool for some more soaking. This retired life is not too bad.

The new neighbours are kid less so it should be a bit quieter until they or I move on.

It has been a couple of years since I have seen Nathan “Whippy” Griggs. He no longer performs at the Homestead but now in town at the Rodeo Grounds. I wonder if the show has also changed in that time.

There certainly seemed to be a larger crowd than what I have seen in the past and the venue was pretty good with clear skies above with stars and satellites shining.

The show has pretty much not changed over time but with a second fire whip. Still, it was a good show and worth going to. Mark and Mary enjoyed the show.

Back at the Homestead, we grabbed a couple of drinks and listened to the band, “Didge and the Diva”. There were not very many people in the crowd as most would have gone to the whip cracking then returned to their caravans. Once the band finished, the bar closed, and the place was completely empty.
