SOME CRAZINESS IN ALICE.......

Once a year insanity hits Alice seriously.....we have a boatrace....nothing unusual you may think. Well for a boatrace one needs boats+people+water. Alice has 2 of these 3- no water, well none flowing in the river. Hey that doesn't stop a day of amazing craziness and family fun. Again the Rotary club excel themselves- a great day out, and charity funds raised. The day starts with the usual street parade.



This is main street Alice- the mall anyway, with one of the "boats" crewed by the R.F.D.S.




The day consisted of teams (from community) racing each other, culminating in a end of day grand champion. We had rowing 2's,4's, and 8's. This team being the 8's....


The 8's battling it out again....

This was the two man sculling,,,with shovels.....

I am told it is all in the timing......

A really fun day out for all..

Just to finish off I thought I would add a few photos of the "locals".....

Not a good hair day......

Keeping the kids under control is important...and knowing where they are at all times......


no kid likes it's face being washed...

Keeping the family together... the front pack is useful for the baby of the family. (These are black footed rock wallabies.)

And making time to just relax and dream..............



I hope you enjoy this bit of frivolity...these animals are so expressive.

love to you all...stay safe....
