More great support - and the conundrum solved

Cooktown's Top Pub will be raising funds for the Flood Appeal on Australia Day, Wednesday, 26 January. There'll be plenty of live music and entertainment, so come along, have fun, and support a great cause at the same time. More information from Brenda or Jenny, Ph (07) 4069 5308.

Also on Australia Day, the Bloomfield Memorial Association will be raising funds at The Tin Shed, Ayton, from 12.00pm onwards. Great Aussie music, lucky door prizes, give-aways for kids, Toss the Boot and other games, and a sausage sizzle ($2). Everyone welcome. Bring a plate of nibbles to share. More information from Peter (07) 4060 8092.

The $$ are also rolling in with collection jars all over town, and generous donations pledged by Cooktown Auto Repairs, the Croc Shop and Cooktown Chamber of Commerce & Tourism. Adventure North Australia is donating $5.00 per tour passenger until further notice, and Cooktown's wonderful SheeSha Fusion Bellydancers have offered to perform in aid of the appeal. Details to come when we've sorted out the Events Calendar. 

And we've solved the long-distance tarot card reading conundrum! Thanks to @Fayes4Art - better known here as Faye Pini from the Cooktown School of Art - who suggested doing live readings on chat via webcam. More details later.
