Hi all Nomads, Just thought I'd put it out there that we are moving on from Mount Barker and if any of you in WA are interested in a nice country property, message me.

We had a Slim Dusty CD playing ( yes we still go that way ), and up popped his song " Henry Lawson's Pen " , about him visiting Grenfell and finding an old pen beside the Memorial.
