Results of Photo Competiton No. 2

....and yes Bullringers we have a WINNER. Must admit we didn't think anyone could find their way through the chicanery of Roy the Boy from Yalleroi and solve these teasers...and we were right!!
However one Bullring Blogger came so close that Bullringer and Roy the Boy from Yalleroi reckon that, without the supernatural powers of Ronrico, it was not humanly possible to get closer.
Before we announce the winner of the Bullring Music CD Package Voucher, Roy the Boy from Yalleroi and Bullringer would like to thank everyone - the Dear Bullring mailbag was full - who entered. Some came close, others were hopelessly off the mark - so let's have a look at the answers:


The words written on this piece of corrugated galvanized iron are "Gully Gang HQ Base" and indeed it is a photo of the wall of that infamous establishment. Some, like our man in the Middle East, Vick, JD, Rex the Dog were spot on, while "Culli Gang No Passn" from Jo merely showed a lapse in concentration. Don't worry, Jo came good.

From the untouched version it is now clear that the store is Woodward's general store in Tambo, albeit a recent incarnation. It was the Hot Chooks sign outside this shop that nearly drove Roy the Boy et al into a frenzy in the haunting Oh! Tambo, one of the hit songs introducing Bullring's Western Marlafonte genre. We got some doozies with this one - Alpha, Ilfracombe (what would the Governor say?) and Aramac were popular. Also had a Longreach, Barcaldine and a Blackall. Rex the Dog was the ONLY contestant to get it right!! Unfortunately for RtD it was the only one he/she did get right, but brilliant effort to clean up on this question Rex.

Congratulations fellow bloggers, you scored very well on this question. And those who were uncertain used some nouse to come to the logical conclusion that this is the main street of Tambo. Typical of the responses is this one from Vicki: "The bloggers are always on about Tambo so I reckon Tambo.." Well done Vick and what a great lesson for us all - if you know what the bloggers are on about, it will certainly help with the competitions. Only further comment on this one is that BM headed outside the central west. Big mistake.

Here is the original photo bloggers, which should make things a little clearer. Roy the Boy threw in 3 questions for this one: The diners are of course Bill (Norm) Fraser (L) and Ian (Muddah) Nicholson(R) enjoying lunch and bottles of Fanta at the Blue Danube in Barcaldine on one fine Sunday in February 1969. The diner in the background is unknown. Probably an out-of-towner. This person is NOT Gravox, who features in the next installment of the Interview with Audrey S McNash. While MiME speculated that it was members of December Sunn drinking a Soley Bros number, Vicki (Norm Fraser and Fanta) and Jo (Blue Danube)were right on the mark. Other responses referred to the Astoria Cafe, Haddads and the Central Cafe. Good guesses but bad luck.

This western sunset was taken on the road between Aramac and Barcaldine. Congratulations to the many of you who got this right - sorry Rex. Special commendation to MiME who came in with a comment in the comment box as follows: "...taken near the Lagoon Creek crossing on the Aramac Road - I recognise the tree!" Spot on MiME - you can't beat that!

And the winner is.......................................VICKI, who used both the comments box and Dear Bullring to get just about everything right. Congratulations Vicki from Roy the Boy from Yalleroi and Bullringer - the Voucher from Bullring Music is 0n its way!!
