"When is the next one," was the general reception from the recent Gascoyne Roundup at the TeeBox Cafe. Friends and station owners came together at the Lake Claremont Golf Club - some reuniting after several years - from all across the State. Valmai Kopke, who organised the event, said it was a pleasure to see everyone's smiling faces. "They were all raving on and looked so happy and said 'Oh when can we do this again?" About 70 pastoralists - many retired - discussed how the times have changed and the different directions people have gone in. "I was sitting next to a former next door neighbor, we lived 40 miles apart," Ms Kopke said. Pictures supplied.
