There has been no more rain, thank goodness! The other large motorhome got bogged while moving into our campsite, leaving large ruts. Our road home has been flooded but will probably be open when we are due to head home on Monday.
The flooded roads prevented the main sound equipment from getting here. Normally there are two stages but without the equipment only one is operating. This means there are delays changing artists. The sun came out and we had to find some shade. The woman sitting next to me ate an apple and Bluey stood staring at her. I asked if he could have her apple core and he ate the lot!
We had pizzas for lunch. A Dalby business towed in their trailer with a wood fired pizza oven. There were very good and large enough to save a couple of pieces for later.
Bec Hance did another show this afternoon, but will be leaving early tomorrow. There was some other good music but we listened to most of it in our van.
We finally had a long outback sunset now that8 the cloud cover has gone.
This evening the Bushwackers performed at Music in the Mulga for the first time. They were stranded at Brisbane because Rex cancelled the flight that would have brought them to southwest Queensland. The band has been performing for over 50 years with more than 100+ musicians. Dobe Newton has been in the band for 49 years and Roger Corbett 43 years.
Gabi Blissett is a classically trained violinist who was a finalist in the Australian Celtic Music Awards. She has reinvigorated the Bushwackers with her skilled energetic performances.
Dobe Newton twice praised the support band for the their talent. Pete Wilson and Anthony Taylor played guitar, and have probably not played any of the Bushwackers’ music before. They were intently following the music on an ipad.
Beccy wowed the crowd with Wild at Heart. Kellie Brouhaha was her guitar and vocal support, with the re-named band Sensual Chocolate, featuring Anthony and Pete.
