Goodbye Jaye!


We are sorry to say goodbye to one of our originals this week. Jaye has her last day on Friday and we will be very sorry to see her go. Jaye has been a permanent fixture in the Outback since we opened. Best of luck for the future, Jaye. We’ll miss you!

NAIDOC Day

The NAIDOC Day Celebrations were a great success in conjunction with Trudy Tronc and Len Lawton – Some of the children got to sample some great foods – such as crocodile and emu sausages.

They listened to Dreamtime stories and did aboriginal paintings and learned how to build a ‘Gunya’.

A great time was had by all and we are grateful for the opportunity to learn so much about indigenous culture first-hand.

Stop, Drop & Roll!


We had an extra-special fire drill this morning, with a visit from the Chinchilla Rural Fire Brigade and Blazer the Koala to teach us all how what to do in case of a fire.
Everybody got to see inside the fire truck and we all heard the siren!
Thanks very much to Chinchilla Rural Fire Brigade for giving the children an experience they'll remember for a long time to come.
