GOAT ROCK

By Sue Jones

 

Just over the border

Heading south from Texas way

Is a bushy’s best kept secret

That’s Goat Rock, Family Farmstay

 

Granite boulders they surround us

Proudly sculptures, natures gift

A perfect backdrop for a camping ground

For all ages to laugh and play

Granite sands for the kids to sift.

 

Walking trails, campfires and fresh tank water,

Country kindness blended in.

Farmyard animals - tin hut shelters

Starry nights, pinewood campfires

The smell gently drifting on the wind.

 

Our hosts, the Croft family

Fourth generation on the land

Our local Texas farming stock

And what a happy band.

 

Fine food to feed the fussiest

To that there is no doubt

A happy place to meet and eat

At Goat Rock - Let the word be spread about.

 

Easter is fast approaching and our infamous Easter Sunday Brunch will be here in no time! Make sure you make your bookings early for brunch and camp sites.

On Saturday 23rd February, Goat Rock hosted a camp oven dinner as a finale to the annual Canadian visit to Texas. Our visitors toured the Whyalla Feedlot, Silver Mine, and local agricultural enterprise owned by the Coventry family. They also had time to wander around and sample the views of Texas.

Before going to Goat Rock, they had a hands on experience with sheep shearing and wool handling at the Croft’s wool shed. Locals joined the group for a fantastic three course camp oven dinner, bush poetry by Jim Brown and music by The Rabbit Trappers. The Texas State School P&C benefited from a charity auction of Australian and Canadian items. An enjoyable and fun night was had by all, with the Canadians vowing to return next year.

Pictured is Peter & Vicki Croft giving the Canadian visitors a certificate in recognition of their visit to Goat Rock and a Goat Rock handband.

On February 23rd 2008, Goat Rock will again be hosting our annual Canadian visitors.  A three course campven roast dinner will be served at $20/person and starts at 6pm for a 7pm meal.  Our favourite Bush Poet, Jim Brown, will again be entertaining us along with a fantastic bush band for a great night of laughs, music and dancing.  A charity auction will also be taking place with the money raised going to a local charity.  Items are a mixture of local and Canadian items so bid up!  A bar will also be operating on the night.
