On Friday 11th February, a Canadian tour group arrived in Texas for their annual visit. During the weekend they dined at B-Jays Steakhouse, visited the Coventry’s farm “Coomooroo” for an informative tour, learned about our local feedlot “Whyalla”, visited the Texas Heritage Centre & Tobacco Museum, had a shearing demonstration and looked out over the Dumaresq Valley from Goat Rock.
Saturday evening they enjoyed a delicious three-course spit roast and camp oven meal at The Shed at Goat Rock. Locals joined in the festivities and a great night was had by all. Entertainment was provided by bush band, The Rabbit Trappers and bush poet, Jim Brown. The Texas Historical Society held a Charity Auction and raised much needed funds. The Texas P & C held a Bar to raise funds also.
This is just one of the many events held at Goat Rock throughout the year. Many thanks to our keen supporters, also our English backpacker friends, Ben and James, for helping out, as well as all the other helpers and our expert Camp Oven cook. Keep an eye out for more great upcoming events.
