I think there is a race track ,not far from your new home Murray.
Yes there is a race course at St Arnaud, they have one meeting a year.
There's a lot of race courses in this part of Victoria.
Ararat, Avoca, Donald, Horsham, Hamilton, Wycheproof, and a few others I probably forgot.
Six days a week there's races out past Bendigo.
I think it was the Donald track i was looking at. The Donald Racecourse is operated by the Donald and District Racing Club and it staged its first official race meeting on Boxing Day 1875.

Sadly one of the more successful and popular jockeys was killed at Donald in a race fall early last year.

Yes the parrots are great fun.
We are lucky that we have our parrots in the biggest aviary you could imagine. It's called Australia.

You might get sick of looking at other people's pets, but I don't care.

Don’t get sick of seeing the photos. Lovely shots. I love the sulphur crested cockatoo. You would have trouble finding any for sale over here now. Even African greys are hard to source and would cost over £1,000 now.
