MY WORLD ~ Wirrealpa Station

We finally arrived at our destination after two days of steady

driving, Wirrealpa Station in the Flinders Ranges of South

Australia, a sheep and cattle run catering also to the intrepid

traveller seeking peace, quiet and skies that go forever in the

rugged Australian Outback.

Our quarters above, consisted of a kitchen and huge dining room

in the forefront and bedrooms in the shearer's quarters behind

our red farm ute. The other building in between we made use of

as a studio.

Above, a view towards the creek with the amazing array of green

tones by courtesy of the recent rains.

Below, one of the many honeyeaters I photographed but could

not identify.

The cooking facilities were modern electric or this delightful

original cast iron stove which, as is obvious, we much preferred.

Not only did it provide comforting warmth but it was big enough

to house a number of large dye pots as well as the ubiquitous kettle

and our delectable meals catered for by my utterly wonderful

daughter India.

The evening light accentuated the colours of the native hopbush

to perfection.

A little entertaining at the end of the day as our hosts joined

us for drinks and we all lived it up a little.

Another view of our accommodation with the the blue hills

in the distance

and a few swishes of the paintbrush on the verandah.

There are a lot more pictures where these came from, who knows,

maybe another day . . .

This is the world that sings to my soul and thanks to the MY WORLD

Team, I could show it to you.
