I managed to catch Dick Farrant for a few minutes Sunday morning and he reported an excellent week with 121 starters representing 38 clubs from five states, so all is looking good for Broken Hill and it has proven once again that 'vets' are prepared to travel if they get to go somewhere interesting.

Not to mention of course that great Broken Hill layout - promotion of this event will continue.
