Wilmington Etc

We travelled up to Wilmington today. Convention starts Weds eve, they say there will be around 400 people here. Meeting and dining in tents (complete with ceiling fans!) Great idea for Masterton! I'm sharing a room with Adrienne Sinclair (Saskatchewan). The other visitors are her aunt Ruth (Sinclair) and Doreen Crotty (NSW). Men are Kelvin Naef (Wisconsin/Nth Carolina), Tom Hinkle (Oregon), Lloyd Kneesch (Sask/Jordan).

Some pictures I took on the 3-hr trip up: crops are wheat, canola and sorghum.

The lake is pink! It's salt.

Mt Remarkable

Something green!! The wheat up this way isn't dry yet.

The towns along the highways are like out of a western... Very old-fashioned buildings, with verandahs and balconies. This is a typical old house in Wilmington.
