March IN Injune area
The whip-cracking, wise-cracking acrobatic
Crackup Sisters from Winton made a
welcome return to Injune during the January
school holidays. 25 adventurous kids turned
up to be entertained by Struthy and Pickles
who led them through whip-cracking lessons,
hoola hoop swinging, human pyramid
formation and a little bit of magic. If noise
levels were anything to go on this was the
highlight of the school holidays for many and
thanks goes to Kim Deans and Maranoa
Regional Council for making it happen.
