Locals enjoying the Annual Canadian Visit 2009

On the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of February, a group of Canadians once again visited the Texas area and enjoyed real Texan hospitality.  On Saturday, they toured Coventry’s farming enterprise at Bonshaw and the Whyalla feedlot.  They spent time in the town and visited local tourist attractions.  On Saturday afternoon they experienced a hands-on shearing demonstration and climbed Goat Rock. 

Charity Auction for the Texas P & CAs a grand finale to their stay, they enjoyed a spit roast and camp oven dinner with bush poetry provided by Jim Brown and music by bush band The Rabbit Trappers, both from Inverell.  The Texas P & C benefitted from the evening by holding a charity auction with some goods donated by the Canadians.  Approximately 70 locals joined the Canadian for a great night of Goat Rock hospitality.
