- Molly’s
Bash 2001
-
- About
250 devotees gathered at Molly’s Old Andado
Homestead on 12-13 May for the 9th Bash, our
annual fundraiser. The road was good, the
weather perfect. Internationally acclaimed bush
band, Bloodwood were in tremendous form, ably
supported by singer/songwriter Barry Skipsey, JP
Jenks and saxophonist Peter Weston. Our local
funny lady Fiona O’Loughlin (fresh from the
Melbourne Comedy Festival, twice guest on
TV’s The Panel and who later featured at
the Edinburgh festival in August) was MC for the
3rd year running.
-
- Thanks
to AAT Kings and Leigh Goldsmith of Outback
Experience 4WD Tours for providing buses to take
those without 4WD vehicles down to the Bash. The
trip took in a stop at the Mac Clark
Conservation Reserve, named after Molly’s
husband and an area containing some extremely
rare acacia trees.
-
- Thanks
to Nanette Bragg for organizing the
children’s treasure hunt as well as to
Chris Tangey for his ever-popular Great Andado
Adventure Treasure Hunt for the adults. Molly
unveiled and presented the Inaugural Andado
Adventure Perpetual Trophy.
-
- The
winner of the raffle prize – Barry
Skipsey’s framed collection of Central
Australian photographs was Debbie Dalton of
Alice Springs.
-
- Around
$3000 was raised over the weekend.
