Telstra!!!!!@&"&@!?!

Apologies to all our valued and potential customers if you were unable to contact The Stanley over the weekend, apparently telstra were doing some line upgrades and the phones and internet were down for over 24 hours! And as many of you know we still don't have mobile reception in Stanley! It may have been good to know this was going to happen. I have spoken with telstra and an waiting for a complaint number which will then allow me to be allocated a case manager so I will wait in hope...

Once again apologies to those that tried to call, please note we are contactable once again!

On Saturday, 24 April 2010 at 11.45am, Forty early carburettor V12 front engined Ferrari's from the Ferrari Owners Club of Australia drove to The Stanley Pub for lunch.

The event was called the David McKay Rally and is named for a chap called David McKay who was one of Australia's leading racing drivers and team managers in the 1960s and early 1970s. He was responsible for bringing a number of very significant racing Ferraris into Australia.

Whilst the Ferrari Club obviously aims to cater for all Ferraris, this event was only open to early carburettor V12 front engined Ferraris - essentially "vintage" Ferraris. The oldest Ferrari coming along was a 1959 250 Pinninfarina Coupe which was originally owned by David McKay and we had approximately 40 cars- mainly from the 1960s or early 1970s along.

The event was the biggest gathering of old Ferraris in Australia.

Thanks to Bryan Mackenzie of Bloomfields http://www.bloomfieldwalnutgrove.com.au/ for the fantastic picture!

Millipedes

Millipedes are not harmful to humans, carpets or fabrics and those which enter the home
will soon die in the dry conditions...

You may wonder why I am discussing millipedes on my blog, but they are infiltrating the North East of Victoria at this time of year and whatever we do...they keep coming! Walking to work this morning they were all over the road with their 50 to 100 or so legs doing their thing!

Disgusting, I hate them and now even more so...we had accommodation guests that refused to stay with us because of "the worms all over the carpet"

Welcome to the country!
