As mentioned previously we booked into see the Outback Hall of Fame on Saturday 7 July which takes in a 2 hour 1 man show. This 1 guy, along with his animal friends, 3 horses, 6 bullocks, 3 dogs, 1 camel and because of the school holidays he had the assistence of his 2 young daughters. The show is to give all the city slickers an idea of how the outback people opened up the west from the beginning all thoughs year ago. With his ability to tell stories and recite C J Dennis poetry, he painted the picture of just that. The show is a must see if you ever pass through here. After the show we ventured back inside the huge building which housed all the artifacts that had been collected and I guess donated for the cause. It takes you right back to when all our great adventurers came over the Great Divide and from when the indigenous people became involved. Also covers when and why the Flying Doctor came into play and continue there amazing work to this day.They have replicated the small homes that they lived in, the tools they used and the equipment for them to transport large loads of whatever they had produced. There are too many displays to mention, I can only let everyone know that it is a place all should, if they get a chance, to visit. We went to lunch, which is part of the deal, then wandered back through the building again to make sure we had not overlooked anything. All up we were there for just over 4 hours.
