AMELIA PARK

NIGHT UNDER THE STARS

I'm sure most attended this Fantastic Evening held last year and with Peters ongoing generosity he has planned another evening for the Syndicate Members in March. Don't forget the dancing shoes. It is a beautiful setting at the Amphitheatre and Farm at night especially with a clear sky to boot. Looking forward to it. Peter said that Aaron Sandilands from the Dockers Football Club will be attending, we will have to make sure he doesn't grab front seat because we won't have a view!! Also looking forward to catching up with Rob Wiley who will return for the event.

PERTH MAGIC MILLION SALES
Peter will be attending the Sales with 10 Horses going under the hammer hopefully. I told him to watch the nodding of the head when the BUYING BEGINS. I will hear the outcome on his arrival home. Lou will also be attending and looking closely at Horses to purchase for the new Syndicate III.

CHINA
Annies Mum left for China on the weekend to be home for celebrations of their Chinese New Year and catch up with family. We will be back to nicking the eggs and vegetables while she is away. Can't believe it was a year ago that the egg basket travelled each day to the pen.

SOUTH AFRICA
Peter leaves on the 14th for several days so the lead up to then is extremely busy for him so he will enjoy the ????? hours flight ahead.

BACK TO SCHOOL
Peter picked Lea up on the weekend from her home trip to KL. She has returned to School and hopefully she can perform as well if not better than her excellent results last year.

QUEENSLAND
What can you say, how unlucky for them to have experienced the floods and now this disastrous cyclone about to hit. IT IS JUST TO SAD TO HAVE TO EXPERIENCE.
We send them all our thoughts and good tidings that everyone gets through unscathed. We have been glued to the TV for all happenings, and wish that he peeters down before it reaches the coast.
WE ARE SO LUCKY HERE IN THE WEST - WE ARE GLAD OUR FOREFATHERS SETTLED HERE .




REHABILITATION BLACK CYGNET SWANS

Glenn reports that from the original 27 that were delivered in stages to the Farm, there is still 25 coming for their daily feeds. It is such a delight as they are getting more at ease with us and actually wait at the feed bin at the pond. They are gradually starting to explore and they are sighted at the various lakes on the Farm where they are learning to fend for themselves. It is both wonderful and sad that eventually they will fly away for their new beginnings BUT HOPEFUL WILL REMEMBER THE FARM AND RETURN NEXT YEAR WITH THEIR OFFSPRING.

I look forward to reporting all the happenings next week.

Have a great week everyone.
