What a weekend, Saturday morning kicked off with Junior Football at the Flinders Island Recreation Ground the green team victorious over the red team. Then it was off to Emita for the 50th Birthday Party of local Big Bob, a shearer and all round good bloke. There was food a plenty and good company with many of the local islanders turning out to wish him happy birthday. Sunday another party, a surprise baby shower for Kelly. After a few dramas getting her to the Interstate Hotel where all the girls were patiently waiting, she arrived speechless. It was a fun afternoon, party games and delicous homemade cakes, muffins and lots of other treats. There was a very interesting baby quiz with questions like what was the last baby to be born in the Flinders Island Multi Purpose Centre (hospital)? and  how many children can the duck pond (local child care centre) look after at any one time? and more challenging ones like how many years does it take for a disposable nappy to decompose? 300, 400 or 500 years. The answer 500 unbelievable!
