Hi, Hi, a friend of mine is looking for the address or website of a jackaroo/jillarro school. He knows about Leconfield and the school in Bingara. Does anyone know about other possibilities to do a 4 weeks course. Not like the 5-days backpacker things.

Many, many thanks to Barina for driving from Melbourne to visit the grey nomads here at Greens Lake. Also a huge thank you for the scrumptious lunch which we all enjoyed. Look forward to catching up again.
