The three and a half day event kicks off at 10.30am on Sunday 25 May with the Outback Golf Challenge followed by evening social activities at the Broken Hill Golf & Country Club, and the serious stuff (although I hear golf can be pretty serious) starts Monday from 8am. The event ends Wednesday 28th around lunchtime.

I am sure it will be a highly informative and fascinating event, with a bit of fun thrown into the mix as well. I've heard great things about the previous three year's events, and the 2014 event is shaping up to be another success.

Have a great time, cheers, Jane D
