QUIZ NIGHT
The CRC working group held the annual Quiz Night on
Saturday 29th August. Unfortunately it was only attended by about 30 people, which was a disappointment, but
those that attended had a great fun night. The Burrowing
Bees took away the first prize for the night, with other
groups winning individual prizes. We are looking at
changing the date for this event next year as it coincides
with mustering.

Trick Questions
1.) A little girl kicks a soccer ball. It goes 10 feet and comes back to her.
How is this possible?
2.) A 10 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom
rung on the surface of the water. The rungs are one foot apart, and the
tide goes up at the rate of 6 inches per hour. How long will it be until
three rungs are covered?
3.) A is the father of B. But B is not the son of A. How’s that possible?
4.) A man dressed in all black is walking down a country lane. Suddenly, a
large black car without any lights on comes round the corner and
screeches to a halt. How did the car know he was there?
5.)A rooster laid an egg on top of the barn roof. Which way did it roll?
6.)A truck driver is going down a one way street the wrong way, and
passes at least ten cops. Why is he not caught?
7.)An electric train is moving north at
100mph and a wind is blowing to the
west at 10mph. Which way does the smoke blow?
8.)How can a man go eight days without sleep?
9.)How can you drop a raw egg onto a concrete floor without cracking it?
10.)How can you lift an elephant with one hand?
11)How much dirt is there in a hole 3 feet deep, 6 ft long and 4 ft wide?.
12.)If it took eight men ten hours to build a wall how long would it take
four men to build it?
She kicked it up. 2.)Never. The boat rises as the tide goes up.3.)B is the daughter. 4.)It was day
time. 5.)(It didn’t roll – since when did roosters start laying eggs?)6.)He’s walking on the sidewalk.
7.) There is no smoke with an electric train.8.)By sleeping during the night time. 9.)The Egg won’t
crack the concrete floor!). 10.)No problem since you’ll never find an elephant with one hand. 11.) None

Camp Hosts
National Park Volunteers are based at the Mt
Augustus Tourist Park from April to October
and are happy to provide visitors with
information on the wild flowers as well as
walks, great views, where the aboriginal
etchings are and where the most recent
reptile sightings have been.
Children who climb to the Summit
(accompanied by an adult) are presented a
personalised certificate commemorating their
achievement. The youngest child to attain
one last year was 7 years of age and the
oldest person to conquer the Mount was in his
early 80’s.
If you haven’t seen the spectacular big rock in
your “back yard yet” or if it has been a while
since the last time, this year would be a great
time to do so.

1 bunch English spinach, trimmed

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
Melt butter in small saucepan over medium heat. Add flour. Cook, stirring, for 1

Desserts
Chocolate & mint
cheesecake
Ingredients






185g unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup (25g) good-quality cocoa, sifted
1 cup (220g) caster sugar
2 eggs
1 cup (150g) plain flour, sifted
50g dark chocolate, melted, cooled
Mint topping
 1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
 1 bunch mint, leaves picked
 250g cream cheese
 3 eggs
 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (see note)
 100ml thickened cream

2-3 drops green food colouring
Method
Preheat the oven to 160°C and grease and line a 20cm square loose-bottomed
cake pan with baking paper.
Place butter, cocoa, sugar, eggs and flour in a bowl and mix well to combine. Press
firmly into the prepared pan and bake for 15 minutes or until set. Allow to cool
completely.
Meanwhile, for the mint topping, place sugar, mint and 1/2 cup (125ml) water in a
saucepan over low heat and stir until the sugar dissolves. Increase heat to medium
and simmer for 3 minutes, then set aside to cool completely. Strain the sugar syrup
into a jug, discarding the solids. Place the cream cheese in a food processor and
whiz for a few seconds to soften. Add cooled sugar syrup, eggs, peppermint extract, cream and food colouring and process until smooth.
Pour the cheesecake mixture into cake pan then tightly wrap the base of the pan
with foil to make it watertight. Place the cheesecake in a deep baking dish and fill
with enough boiling water to come halfway up the sides of the cake pan. Bake for
25 minutes or until topping is just set – the cake may have a slight wobble but it
will firm on cooling. Remove from the oven and cool completely, then chill for 2
hours or until firm.
Cut cheesecake into slices, drizzle over the cooled melted chocolate and serve
