CHINA


Hello and welcome everyone to this weeks News from Amelia Park.


CHINA
Peter flies to China for a week for a busy schedule.  Annie is already over there at the ready with the scarves and beanies. Very cold apparently.
Peter will travel to Harbin which he said is exceptionally freezing, then home to the heat.

BALI
Peter spoke to Sharon and said she is having a wonderful time, the girls are spoiling her and she is loving the time spent with her daughter.


JACKSON LUNCHEON
What a fabulous time it was, the food as always was superb and the service outstanding.  Sadly Neil said he will be retiring by June next year but he will still be working with Peter on several projects (thats not retiring Neil!!!!)  Peter said we will have a couple of Wine lunches there before June - then who knows where the next venue will be WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!!


MAKE SURE YOU GET TO JACKSONS BEFORE JUNE 2014 FOR AN ABSOLUTE EXPERIENCE.


SPECIAL HARVEST
Scratching their heads with this one, still trying but doesnt seem to want to run on the day!!!!


AMELIA PARK
Beautiful Foal arrived from Oakland Park, what a hoot it is to watch them.

Peters homestead will unfortunately come down next week to make way for new Office, Lunchroom and accommodation for the Staff, OUT WITH THE OLD - IN WITH THE NEW>


PLAYING MUM
Peter said he is getting quite domesticated looking after Jessie while Annie is away, his cooking I believe is Number 1.

Peter and Annie took Jessie to her Introduction at St. Hildas last week, Jessie will move there next year for schooling and Peter was pleased as Jessie commented that she is looking forward to the challenge.
Abbas will have to look for a new weekend helper with the horses - sorry Abbas but I am never available on the weekends!!!!


Enjoy your week everyone and will report News next week from Amelia Park.

GREAT WEEKEND


Hello and welcome everyone to this weeks News from Amelia Park.


GREAT WEEKEND AT THE FARM

Peter had a busy but enjoyable time hosting 3 days with his Chinese friends and Busines Partner.
Peter organised Helicopter rides over our South West corner, Wineries for luches and Dinners and a special Dinner at the House.  It was both a work and relaxing time for all.
Peter said the Chinese absolutely love our South West, especially at this time of the year (Winter at home for them).


AMELIA PARK SYNDICATE
In Peters words,   "Very disappointing to say the least".
In fact these last 2 have been but more so with this current Syndicate.  Special Harvest ran a last so with the money run out we can't afford to keep them and sadly it is coming to an end.

Peter is forever POSITIVE for the Future with New Direction.

PETER WILL STILL CONTINUE BREEDING, BUYING AND RACING, ITS HIS LOVE.



OFF TO CHINA
Annie leaves on Saturday and has a busy work schedule before Peter arrives Friday week.  The coats and scarves are top of the packing list.


OFF TO BALI
Sharon King takes off to the Bali House for a well earned rest.  The girls at the House will thoroughly spoil her.



JACKSON LUNCHEON
Back on Friday for a Feast as only Neil Jackson can do.  Always a great day!!



Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Hello and welcome everyone to this weeks News from Amelia Park.


CONGRATULATIONS

Peter is absolutely thrilled that he has HIS FIRST WIN IN 14 MONTHS.  And all the sweeter coming from Amelia Park.  Owen was given an unsaleable horse to train and he has done a magnificent job in bringing Blacky thru for a WIN.  Peter said it was great to celebrate with his long standing friends WANGA & NOEL who are part Owners with Peter.  I believe there was a great party at the Farm that night.

AMELIA PARK
Peter had an enjoyable couple of days hosting to great friends Brian, Barb and Deb, it was so good to catch up with them, especially Deb from Melbourne.

PHOTO SHOOT AT AMELIA PARK
Peter had great Photos taken on the weekend of all the Walsh Family children for a Special on Amelia Park Lamb & Beef.

BUSY WEEKEND AHEAD
Peter is looking forward to having Mr Chen and several friends arrive from China.  It will be a very busy 3 days of entertaining and sightseeing.  Peter is certainly up to the task fulfilling this role.


WELCOME BACK TO ME
I have just returned from 3 weeks Holiday in Europe.  My first time over there and what an amazing eye opener compared with our New Country we live in compared to their History.

It was a shock to see how quick the Land has dried up at home with the short burst of Summer, more to come and the creek is drying up as you look at it.  Glenn is chasing his tail getting all the reticulation up and running as quickly as possible.  BOY DO WE LOVE SUMMER!!!!!!!


Hope all is well with everyone and look forward to next weeks report


           COME ON BLACK IS BACK!!!!
