Before we commenced our return journey we had a wander around the
accommodation areas. There were a number of campers relaxing and enjoying
the excellent facilities. As we pulled out through the station gates we
pulled over for a group who were returning from a horse trek. Apparently
they had been out for three hours and a couple of the girls at the back said
that they had sore bums from sitting in the saddles.
The station has training facilities for Aboriginal people and whether the
horse treks are used as a training ground we were not sure, but there were a
number of Aboriginal on the front horses and they were keen to wave for the
camera.
The station is still a working station and although the cattle yard had been
empty when we arrived, there was a herd of young cattle in the yards as we
left.
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.
