Jacobs Well Christmas in July

Santa arrived at Jacobs Well to distribute gifts on Saturday night (24/7).

We had a merry time and a fantastic meal, supplied by Santas Merry Helpers. (Far left, Santa Merry Helpers Jenny, Lorraine and Gaylene).

Having a fine time at the Christmas party were Joy, Beryl and Park Manager Robyn.

Santa giving gifts to our oldest, dear Mel, and youngest, Alex, guests. Alex got "just what he wanted!"

A visit by the local constabulary didn't slow down the celebrations.

Then it was time for Santa to get on his bike, the sleigh was in the shop, and head off!

Funi and Wang Wang

Funi and Wang Wang, the Chinese Pandas, are guests at the Adelaide Zoo.
Not much was happening when we first got there, but funi finally woke up and went outside.

We Went off to Coober Pedy on March 19th for a 2 night stay. Wow what an eye opener for me. Never been that far outback! A small town that has a huge history. Opals, one of my favourite stones, are what gave this town its history back in 1915.
We did a tour out to the Breakaways on the first night; the flies!! absolutely 100's of them. The Breakaways are part of the inland sea that most of Coober Pedy was a part of.
