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.
Gill and Peter like to travel. In 2011/12 they completed a trip around Australia. One of the things that they are aware of is the fact that to live your dream then you actually have to do something and that's what they did. In 2013 they decided to further explore outback Australia and crossed the Simpson Desert. Going forward they will continue to travel as they plan for the next few years. To see some of their other trips follow the links.
