    Wow, what another fantastic weekend you guys organized.

    My partner and I were two of the people who came up with the Lloyd family from Mildura.

    We missed last year, but were there for the two years prior to that when it was quite hot.

    This year you really turned on great weather, great atmosphere, great food, and excellent entertainment.

    Congratulations to all who put in such a great effort, it is a lot of hard work, and you guys have the knack of how to do it.

    Well done.  You will see us next year.

    Hi there

    Last year was my first Nanua experience I went with the people from Morgan SA as they have done for many years. I have done a bit of travelling in the outback & must say the Nanua Races are as unique as Birdsville. I thought that the event would be cancelled because of the horse flu but it was great to see that the event will go on. Will be there again this year with my daughter and as shes just turned 16  we have decided to make this an event that will bring us together each year for the rest of our lives...thanks for an absolutely unique all Australian weekend!

    Sincerely

    D. Carpenter
