Day 142 - Lets Stay Another Day

We decided early that we'd stay another day.  I think Jude and I could easily spend a lot more time here.  Had a great time today playing with Judy's grandkids and getting to know the other visitors a little better.  I went out with Jeff and John this morning to visit a couple of bores to do some repairs - Jeff is an electrician who spent some time as bore man.

In the afternoon we played games with the kids around the homestead with the dogs chasing us the whole time.  The kids call their grandmother Judy Mounie (comes from the name of an aboriginal woman in Mataranka) and they call their grandfather Gungu (meaning father of my father in local aboriginal dialect).

Then gathered everyone together on the lawn for dinner.
