    Say hello to Trevor for me. Hopefully he still remembers me. I did some ferry flying of his planes years ago. Spent a few drunken nights in Boort with him and his brother Adam. Just don't let him near bonfires and hay bails. (Tends to fall over the bails and into the fire!)
    Is he still seeing that doctor from the RFDS?

    When you say Gday from Luke, do the same for me!!

    He may rememeber me as Digger or Nige but anyway should recall I used to come up from andamooka esp for the races (im a copper).

    I love the job he did on the fettlers quarters turning into a great house!
    and I was very disapointed when the traffic lights at WILLIAM CREEK were removed They were fun to sit at Trevs and drink and watch...spot the city drivers!!

    Its a great spot and a terrific place to visit.. If Trevs picked you out to run it for a bit, he must think youre a good bloke and someone who can be trusted with his "baby", (trevs practically single handedly kept W?C running forward for years!! Including a sealed airstrip, fantastic racecourse facilities and a very comfortable caravan park (with GOOD showers!)!

    Anyone who hasn't visited should shake a leg and get up there - spend a couple days at william creek and just go with the flow... can go on to finke/chambers pillar/or coober pedy, or back and down to roxby/andamooka woomera/ or across to marree (and the base of the birdsville track)/ lyndhurst (base of strezlecki track)/leigh creek and down to flinders etc...

    do yourself a favour and visit!

    We've got a couple of Landy's that'll be out that way in about a month, so will definitely call in and say hi!

    As if we'd drive past the pub without stopping in

    I will Luke and Digger, Trevor is a ripper bloke and it's a ripper spot, I'm looking forward to it. Digger you might know aunt and uncle they ran Boort hotel for a few years - Jim and Margaret Taggert with their 4 daughters?

    I will have to chase up those traffic lights, I love a practical joke or two!

    So anyone with a LR heading up the Oodnadatta track be sure you drop in, I'll reserve the shady cars parks for you!
