When the town of Johns
River was bypassed by the new highway a year ago, the market vendors initially stayed
away, but they are now coming back as more people come to the once-a-month
market to buy local handicrafts and produce.
 |
Nice day to have a
coffee and cake at the Market
|
 |
The vendor on the phone,
properly talking to his mom
|
A
big deal at the moment is the coal seam gas exploration proposed for the larger area,
and as with most things, there are people for and against, and some of the
opinions are based on not enough information or information that is not
relevant to the area.
 |
Upper panel of experts and
dignitaries and Lorri and David; lower panel Dr. Mary White and an opposition representative
|
 |
Everyone is listening very
attentively
|
 |
Patricia debriefing,
and Roy seems to be the only one listening
|
The meeting was very well attended, and when the question: “who has learned something new today” almost everyone put the hands up, and the next question: “how many have changed there minds?” No hands went up.
 |
| The Hall is still empty, but soon the Christmas lights will be up |
Then it was time to get ready for the Carols by Candlelight performance. The organizer put in a lot of work getting the right atmosphere going for Christmas; after all, it is the middle of summer here.
 |
The band is playing
jollily along
|
 |
While the kids make
an indoor picnic.
|
 |
The kids loved father Xmas
giving them little presents.
|
 |
Luke kept busy
grilling sausages and onions for sandwiches with beer in hand
|
 |
and the rest are
standing around having a beer, a good Australia custom.
|
And then it is all over
and the town goes back to its quietness.
