The Kimberley region has many large stations.  On the outskirts of Derby
there is a 120 metre long trough.  It was built in the early 1900's and
provided water for up to a thousand head of cattle at a time.  
The windmill in the distance now pumps the water into the trough.
It is believed to be one of the longest troughs in the southern hemisphere
and provided a resting place for cattle before being shipped out of the
Derby port.
