We’ve just come back from four days on the station. Every time I go I wonder why it has taken me so long to go back.
This time it didn’t rain while I was there but the winter temperatures made walking a pleasure.
We taught the kids how to drive – Hugamuga driving by himself by the last day – and well. I love the fact that my city kids get the chance to practice driving on the station where there are no cars and just the odd bush to avoid.
I found it hard to cull the photos for this post, but if you’re really keen feel free to check out the set on Flickr.
Sunrise over Lake Deborah – it was very cold.
Lake Deborah could do with some rain.
My arty bark shot.
Dad rigged up a mini-water trough for the birds and set it high so the roos don’t get all the water.
Watching the cattle.
Face off at Ennuin Station.
Cracked earth near Gnamma Dam.
Help or hindrance?
East dam made for some fun leaping moments but no one got wet… this time.
Learning to drive.

Great photos – so this is your station? Did you grow up here? Inquiring minds need to know…
Great photos! Very Australian. It’s cool that your family has a place like that and your kids can experience suburban life and country life.
Wow – awesome photos. I’m so torn between city & country. I love the country but need my city comforts…
My parents share a lease on the station with another couple. Their aim is to regenerate the land and so it is only minimally stocked.
How wonderful. What a peaceful looking place to explore. Learning how to drive without other cars is an excellent way to get started. Have a great day.
I love that amazing light in the billycan shot – it is an excellent portrait !!
Hey H&B welcome back!
I love that light too.
