MORE SPRING BABIES

Hello everyone, I hope everyone enjoyed their Holiday Weekend. It was a shame for the Collingwood & St. Kilda fans that their wasn't a result. What a game!! I bet they don't feel like going thru their paces again this week. Oh well - as they say - Thats Footy!!



It is a quiet week of Racing this week, the Stables are full and the girls are flat out Pre-Training and putting the young ones thru their paces.



BALI
Peter is enjoying himself in Bali with family and friends and he enjoys catching up with all the staff, the majority have been with him since Tanah Lot was built. They are a great bunch of happy people when Mr Peter comes to stay.

AMELIA PARK - THE AVIARY - BABIES ON THE WAY
Both Peter and Glenn are delighted that a pair of the Alexandrine Parrots have eggs. It will be an exciting few weeks before they hatch so Glenn is keeping a careful watch and making sure they are topped up with fresh food twice daily.

Tegan reported that she celebrated her 21st in Walpole with a few very late nights/early mornings. OH TO BE YOUNG AGAIN!!

THE CREEK IS LOW
It is sad to see the creek already subsiding at this early stage, we hope for everyone that there are some wet days still to come, the Farmers especially.

A short report this week but Peter is due back so I look forward to all his news for next week.

Enjoy!

regards

Shelley

NOT SPRING LAMB - BUT SPRING FOAL



Hello everyone and welcome to this weeks news.
A COLT OUT OF SAXON/BLACK MAIDEN
ISN'T HE JUST THE CUTEST
He was born within 15 minutes of Wanga leaving the paddock to pick up Black Maidens feed and to then miss it after sleeping at the Farm the previous night so he would be there. Mind you Wanga is beaming. It is amazing that within half an hour the foal is up and looking for feed. LETS HOPE HE IS A FUTURE WINNER .
RACING
22/9 - AMELIAS TIGER & AMELIAS DANCER
Not in the finish this time, both horses lacked the drive but nevertheless will keep trying.
SPECIAL HARMONY - GREAT BLOOD LINE
Great results at Rosehill for Slater and Little Surfer Girl. Its great to see the line continuing with winners. Peter was thrilled.
AMELIA PARK
Peter spent another busy weekend and week entertaining at the Farm together with business luncheons and dinners. He makes me tired just watching him going thru his paces. He absolutely thrives on it.
BALI Peter is off on Saturday for a bit of R & R with the family. I hope he can rest but with so much happening at the moment I know he will be champing at the bit to get back and get into it.
AMELIA PARK SEPTEMBER BIRTHDAYS
We also send birthday greetings to Annie who celebrated her birthday this week.
HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TEGAN
Tegan will be celebrating her Birthday in Walpole this weekend and we all send our love and best wishes to her. We will catch up with her on Monday to celebrate.
It has certainly been a month for Female Birthdays at Amelia Park.
We wish everyone a great Long Weekend and whoever may follow St. Kilda or Collingwood - GOOD LUCK!!
regards

THE WILLOWS ARE IN BLOOM

Greetings everyone, what a glorious Spring day.

RACING
AMELIAS DANCER
HAS BEEN RE-SCHEDULED AND WILL NOW RACE ON WEDNESDAY 22ND.

EUROPA POINT & REPRISAL
All reports from the East are good so the end of the month is still a goer at this stage.

SOUTH AUSTRALIA & SYDNEY
Peter has just returned from his whirlwind trips. He spent a few days at LINDSAY PARK and thoroughly enjoyed his stay catching up with Sam Hayes, Boo and the McEvoys. They had some lovely meals together. Peter as I guessed has purchased a NUMBER of different wines to add to the Cellar, he did say he had to sample all of them when choosing, by the sound of it I think he chose everything he sampled!!

He was very pleased with his Sydney trip on the business side of things.

AMELIA PARK
The Weeping Willows are in beautiful bloom, creek running, horses happy, all is good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Birthday Wishes to ME.

AMELIA PARK WINES
Don't forget to look for our Wines in your local Liquor Store, and also on the WEBSITE!.

We are looking forward to next weeks racing and will report same time.

Enjoy your week!!

This is what Peter looks forward to!!

AMELIA PARK SPRING LAMB ON NATIONAL TELEVISION
THE TODAY SHOW FEATURED THE START OF SPRING IN SYDNEY WITH CHEFS COOKING AMELIA PARK LAMB AND OFFERING IT TO PEOPLE ON THE STREET. IT LOOKED ABSOLUTELY MOUTH WATERING AND IT WAS GREAT TUNING IN - I HOPE OUR READERS ALSO CAUGHT IT ON EARLY AM TV.

Also in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane some of the TOP RESTAURANTS are featuring Amelia Park Lamb on their Menus.

Woolworths are also full on promoting Australian Beef in America which is fantastic and a great Advertisement all round.

WE ARE DEFINITELY ON THE MAP !!!!!

AMELIA PARK WINES
Jeremy is having an excellent Promotion in Sydney this week with Tastings in Restaurants and then he is off to the UK for more Promotions.
Peter is having excellent feed back from Jeremy with the Wines success.

AMELIA PARK
Peter is thoroughly enjoying all the happenings at the moment (in his glory). He is flying over to Lindsay Park in South Australia next week and is looking forward to catching up with Sam Hayes. He said he will make time (I'm sure) to visit some of the Wineries and purchase some fine Wines from there to keep stocking up the Cellar.

HOSTING V & V WALSH BOX DAY AT SATURDAY RACES
Peter and Greg will be hosts to 65 Clients this Saturday so there will be quite a few liquid amber's flowing along with hopefully a few Winners.

FATHERS DAY
Peter will return home in time to host a Family Day at the Tavern for FATHERS DAY on Sunday. The weather forecast is showing a Fine Day so A HAPPY FATHERS DAY TO ALL !

FLORA & FAUNA
Peter is rapped with the amount of different species of BIRDS that are now visiting the Farm including Rosellas, White Tailed Black Cockatoos, 28's, Ibis, Willies, Wrens etc. It is a delight to hear their different calls and watch them vying for nesting spots. The Aviary birds certainly seem to entice them in.
Glenn is also excited as the Alexandrines and Derbyans are very busy mating and getting their breeding boxes ready. We are looking forward to the babies being hatched and watching the parents raise their young.

All the trees are now in bud and the Weeping Willows are ahead sprouting their beautiful leaves.
WE LOVE THIS TIME OF THE YEAR HERE!!

Enjoy your week and see you here same time next week.

GOOD LUCK FOR YOU DOCKER SUPPORTERS - MAKE WA PROUD!!!
