Pink Roadhouse Oodnadatta sold

[DannyG]

It was such a sad thing for Adam to lose his life the way he did, now his wife and kids are moving on. Good for them and I hope they enjoy whatever it is they do in life now.

Here is a copy and paste from the Pink Roadhouse Facebook page............

After almost four decades in the heart of Australia in Oodnadatta, Lynnie Plate is
moving on.

Contracts have been exchanged for the sale of the Pink Roadhouse, and in early September new owners will move to Oodnadatta to begin another chapter in the
outback.

You are invited by Lynnie, Alice, Tilly and Ruby to help them farewell the region on the 12-14th July and take part in three important events:

1. Friday 12th July 4pm OFFICIAL NAMING OF THE OODNADATTA AIRSTRIP IN HONOUR OF ADAM PLATE at Oodnadatta airport. The SA Government has announced it will host this ceremony in recognition of Adam Plate’s contribution to the local community.

2. Friday 12th July 530-10pm PLATE FAREWELL PARTY at Pink Roadhouse with speeches, music, food and fun and you get to meet the new owners. All welcome. Food and alcohol available.

Thanks again Danny. We'll be somewhere out in the Simpson by then, but I'm guessing we'll still hear it

We'll have a drink for them anyway, and for Adam

I know this thread is old, but I was just looking back through some pics of Oodnadatta today and thought I'd put a couple of these up.

A change of plans had us arriving in Oodnadatta on July 12, a couple of days earlier than first planned, and just in time for the Plate family farewell celebrations. The music was great, speeches emotional and a good time was had by all. 
A great little community. The place wasn't overrun by the masses either. There were only half a dozen of us camped out the back in the caravan park, though plenty more camped down the road at the racecourse ready for the rodeo the next day. 
Anyway, here are just a few pics (Jamie took hundreds at the rodeo) and a quick video Jamie put together of some of the rodeo action.
