Big Valley
Dropped into Witchcliffe as they were having a market, interestingly there was a real 1950's theme in the town. I had trouble finding Patrice but found her chatting to the local witch.Big Valley, what a great spot, Kevin and Shelly are the owners and are great country people and made us feel welcome. We originally paid for 3 nights but ended up staying for 7.
Bumped into Geoff and Judy again and ended up camping
directly beside them. What more could you ask for satellite tv, phone and
Internet and it is a sheep farm.
We got to experience sheep crotching, the is where they
shear the sheep's crotch to stop the dags being fly blown, is this what they
call giving a Brazilian in the bush. An interesting thing was that they also
sheer the top of the head so you can pick which sheep have been done. The
shearers 
Texas the pet goat was wandering around, apparently we
were lucky that we kept our door closed as one van left it open only to have
Texas pay a visit and make himself at home.
We decided to fuel up at The old store at Rosabrook, it
is the original store and not much has changed. I filled the car and went in to
pay and he asked me how much I had out in, he then wrote it down in an exercise
book. On the shelves were old packets of Vincent's Headache powder, how old is
this place? At the back if the shed is the old screen for the outdoor movies
and on a stand was the original truck used for carting fuel, this is magic.
The berry farm was just down the road and was just nice
to sit back with a gigantic scone, jam and cream with a nice coffee.
Just a lovely stay with great owners and made some signs
as well.
