Goat Rock Inspiration

March 4th, 2008 by goatrocktexas

GOAT ROCK

By Sue Jones

 

Just over the border

Heading south from Texas way

Is a bushy’s best kept secret

That’s Goat Rock, Family Farmstay

 

Granite boulders they surround us

Proudly sculptures, natures gift

A perfect backdrop for a camping ground

For all ages to laugh and play

Granite sands for the kids to sift.

 

Walking trails, campfires and fresh tank water,

Country kindness blended in.

Farmyard animals – tin hut shelters

Starry nights, pinewood campfires

The smell gently drifting on the wind.

 

Our hosts, the Croft family

Fourth generation on the land

Our local Texas farming stock

And what a happy band.

 

Fine food to feed the fussiest

To that there is no doubt

A happy place to meet and eat

At Goat Rock – Let the word be spread about.

Canadians visit Texas, Qld

February 27th, 2008 by goatrocktexas

On Saturday 23rd February, Goat Rock hosted a camp oven dinner as a finale to the annual Canadian visit to Texas. Our visitors toured the Whyalla Feedlot, Silver Mine, and local agricultural enterprise owned by the Coventry family. They also had time to wander around and sample the views of Texas.

Before going to Goat Rock, they had a hands on experience with sheep shearing and wool handling at the Croft’s wool shed. Locals joined the group for a fantastic three course camp oven dinner, bush poetry by Jim Brown and music by The Rabbit Trappers. The Texas State School P&C benefited from a charity auction of Australian and Canadian items. An enjoyable and fun night was had by all, with the Canadians vowing to return next year.

Australia Day 2008 at Goat Rock

February 5th, 2008 by goatrocktexas

BusesOn Saturday 26th January 2008, Australia Day was celebrated in style at Goat Rock.  Over 100 people, including a bus from Toowoomba and a bus from the Gold Coast, celebrated with an Aussie BBQ Buffet lunch including wattleseed blinis, steak marinated in Dumaresq Valley wine and wattleseed pavlova.  Jim Brown, from Inverell, was our Bush Poet for the afternoon and as always entertained the crowd and kept the laughs going.  A fantastic afternoon was had by all. 

Cass Holman 

The Bonshaw CWA held an Australian Trivia afternoon afterwards and six teams competed.  Everyone enjoyed the afternoon and found that they didn’t know a great deal about our own country!  Thanks to everyone that supported the CWA in their fundraising efforts.

Later in the afternoon we threw brooms and tossed thongs to see how far we could get them.  Everyone joined in, with the winners taking home Australian beer glasses and a pair of Aussie thongs!  Dinner was a barbie and lots of music and dancing afterwards.  Thanks to everyone who joined in and enjoyed themselves.
