Coober Pedy Cup 2



THE LADIES PAVILLION
Kaz, some German tourists we met & local girl enjoying the sophistication of the Ladies pavilion.

 
THE FARMER WANTS A WIFE
Its, dusty, its hot, & should you fall, the earth is hard; these guys race with little personal protection & go flat chat. It was a real privilege to watch them strut their stuff.


EGG & SPOON RACE
No spoons here though; you start about two metres opposite your playing partner & throw the egg. Those that are successful (ie, don’t drop it) move back another pace, & so on. The finalists ended up about 20m apart.
Kaz & Dane are pictured closest to the rail.


  COOBER PEDY ARTS CENTRE
Matt seen with some tapping sticks. The art here was authentic & was very nice.
