budget. This has enabled us to come & visit and support at

John Roche is a visitor
from Ireland, travelling
Australia in a motor
home. He drove into
Hay to get a drink and a
bite eat and decided to
call into the Visitors
Centre to see if there
was much to see in
town. He was told of the
Hay Show and decided
to ‘take a look”. John
enjoyed himself so
much he spent the
whole of Saturday at the
event. “It reminds me of
the county fairs back
A recent visitor to the
Printed Post office is
Mavis King. Mavis was
born at the Hay Gaol in
1930. Born at only 1
pound she was placed
in a bucket for burial. It
was only when her
distraught father
demanded to see the
baby, that it was
discovered she was
breathing.
Mavis left Hay when she
was very young, but still
comes to visit with
friends from Carrathool.
She now resides at Lake

Barnabas House Donation
CASE (Community Action 4 Suicide Elimination) Members
met with Kevin Webb on Wednesday (18th October,) to
present a donation from the CASE organisation. Kevin is a
registered councillor, and one of the instigators of Barnabas
House, and visits Hay on a weekly basis.
The donation will cover one counselling session, once a
week for three months. It is envisaged that further donations
will be made after that time. Unfortunately counselling is not,
at present, covered by medicare rebates and can be
expensive. Barnabas House does not turn down those in
need due to their inability to pay, and the donation was
gratefully received. Barnabas House receives little
Government assistance.
