AMELIA PARKS FLOWING CREEK

Hi everyone, another week has flown by and we are nearing the end of another month.

I have talked enough about our Winter Creek which prompted me to share a photo with you. You cant believe that in a few months it will be a dry bed again so we, the dogs and bird life are taking advantage of it.

A WEEK TO FORGET

Peter would like to put this disappointing week of racing behind him and hope that future racing will be more successful.

CASTLE BLITZ

Very disappointed with the run. Lou was also confident Blitz would put in a good performance but not to be.

PRINCESS AMELIA

A very ordinary race from Princess, Peter will persevere on maybe another run and then make some decisions on the horses future.

BELLS AWAY

Had its 1st up run in some 14 months but managed only an 8th. the jury is out and hopefully will show something after another run or 2.

KEVIN SHINES AGAIN

What a rewarding day of riding for Kevin . He took home two 1sts and a 2nd at Monday Trials. He really is giving it his all for his riding future. We will celebrate when Kevin comes home to Amelia Park within the next 2 weeks.

RAINFALL

Reports are flooding in of water levels not been seen in the district for many years and we are pleased to report that our reservoirs at Amelia Park are either full or better than previous catchments. This will ensure that our pastures will be lush and succulent for the oncoming spring season where the plentiful nutrients will be beneficial to our beautiful brood mares and agisted racehorses. Considerable labour, thought and knowledge of our paddocks has ensured the appropriate fertilisers and supplements have been broadcast over the property. The staff are suitably excited about the germination of new seed at Amelia Park.

TRAVELLING IN STYLE

Our resident Chauffeur Glenn had the enjoyment of taking possession of Peters latest acquisition - the Amelia Park Stretch Limousine - affectionately named 'ARTHUR' yesterday from Perth. On the maiden voyage Arthur and Glenn came to the rescue of 2 Swedish backpackers unsuitably dressed for our cold winters day. They were most grateful for the ride in the warm coach and enjoyed the complimentary champagne on their trip to Albany. They were delighted with the fresh marron, local cheeses and fruits that the southwest of Australia has to offer. Unfortunately the champagne bottle used to launch Arthur has damaged several panels on the vehicle and therefore Arthur will be heading back to Perth for panel and paint work . The cost of fuel and repairs was offset by the fact that Arthur and Glenn's photo will be published in Swedish Backpackers Monthly, November edition. Good luck Ursula and Britt.

ORCHARD

Brett has pruned all the fruit trees in readiness for the forthcoming budding of these beautiful healthy trees. Talk of a Harvest Festival is in the air and has excited both locals and tourists alike. We will be looking forward to that one.

Bye for now and have an enjoyable week everyone.

regards

Shelley
