                        Australia Day Celebrations

    It was great to see so many members of the community coming along to celebrate
    Australia Day. We started off with our usual Aussie breakfast, followed with some
    outdoor and indoor games.

    The winners and runner up to the Rabbit Trap Throw and Rolling Pin Toss.
    Sheilas Rabbit Trap Throw:     1st Janice ( Black Hill) R/up Vicki McQuie
    Blokes Rabbit Trap Throw:      1st Matt Sanson          R/up Vic Taylor
    Blokes Rolling Pin Toss:       1st Cory Folezzani       R/up Matt Sanson
                                    st
    Sheilas Rolling Pin Toss:      1 Vicki McQuie           R/up Jo Brown

    After the outdoor games everyone wandered indoors to test their knowledge on 6
    rounds of Aussie quiz questions and 1 round of picture memory test. The winning
    team being Sandstone Scorchers with a total of 53 ½.
    The Scorchers consisted of Vicki McQuie, David McQuie, Lana Lefroy, David Lefroy,
    Gary Kjellgren and Freda May.

    The other three teams were close behind with the Sandstone Terrors and Sand-
    stone Eagles on 49 ½ and the Bush Chooks 43 ½. We also had guess the Locals
    Photo Competition which consisted of photos of locals when they were young or
    babies. This was also won by the Scorchers table with an amazing score of 19 out
    of 22. To be fair to the other tables the Scorchers probably had an advantage with
    all of them being long term residents.

    Happy birthday to Kerry Key who celebrates his birthday on Australia Day. Kerry
    was lucky this year to have a birthday cake with candles, which Katie kindly
    provided.

    A big thank you to Freda and Karan who helped cooked the breakfast and to David
    Lefroy and David McQuie for overseeing the Rabbit Trap Throw and the Rolling Pin
    Toss.

    Thanks everyone for bringing your community spirit along and joining in, making our
    celebrations a really fun day.

    Beth Walton
