What a wonderful spectacule the SANTOS Tour down Under was !!
In the extreme heat of the day ( 39 degrees ) people from near and far lined the streets to watch this world-wide race as it came through town. A great atmosphere and plenty of excitement prevailed as the riders made their way to the finish of Stage 1 at Clare. Thank you to all who participated and assisted in the lead-up to the day.

MID NORTH COMMUNITY PASSENGER NETWORK
The MNCPN is a much needed service that provides transport to the frail, elderly and transport disadvantaged in the Mid North. This service has been established approximately 10 years and covers an area of approximately 12,829 kilometres. We currently have cars based at Clare, Burra, Balaklava, Eudunda, Hamley Bridge and coming in June /July, RIVERTON Hospitals.
We are looking for community members in the Saddleworth, Riverton and Tarlee areas to become volunteer drivers, to assist with this much needed service. .All volunteers must complete a VOLUNTEER DRIVER ACCREDITATION PROGRAMME, paid for by DETI.
If you have time to spare during the week, would love to be involved in a worthwhile area and vocation, please contact
