The Last Shows of the Week

The Last Shows of the Week. I am really looking forward to some actual days of doing nothing. Driving doesn’t count as a day off.

Stopped By The Principal Mid-Show

Stopped By The Principal Mid-Show. It is true! I am not sure what he was thinking or what was going on but I had to say, I’m only half way through the show….

He was very apologetic and I went on with the show. The kids loved it.

After a 2 hour drive I made it to Kalgoorlie, ready for shows. As I was warming up I noticed something odd happening to my rear brakes. I also learned that I had left my tools back in Melbourne. I couldn’t fix it with the tools that I had with me. This is why I have spare bike!

The issue turned out to be the brake mounting post that had come loose from the frame. An easy fix when you have the right tools.

Crossing the Nullarbor

Null arbor. No trees. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Just little scrubby bushes. It was AMAZING! The SA coastline is absolutely spectacular. The 73m high cliffs as far as you can see. Yes, I check. I flew my drown down to just above the ocean and it was 72m! Oh my!!

Half Way Across Australia

There are no white lions in Kimba. But gee the kids were lovely. They had SUCH a great time during the show and were an incredible charming audience.

It was great to be back at Lock Area School, too. I was there 2 years ago in 2021 and they were thrilled to have me back. The mats were already set up when I arrived and the students were excited with anticipation.

The Best Day in All My Days

Today I was in Whyalla then back up to Port Augusta. Then I travelled all the way back to Kimba. Yes, when touring there is a LOT of travelling. Either you are driving or flying or waiting in airports.

And Bless his little cotton socks. Little Silas came up to me at the end of the show in Port Augusta and told me how much he loved it.

Got Any New Tricks?

I was only in Burra at the start of last year. They couldn’t wait to have me back! As I was setting up, one of the students walked past, looked at me and said, I remember you. You were here last year!

Yes, I replied, Yes I was.

Got any new tricks?
