Showing Slide 1 of 3. Because it was so crook, no one from miles [ kilometres] around put their name in the hat and the blocks ended up going to people mainly from NSW. Dad and Robert were lucky enough to draw blocks within 10km of each other.
It was an experience that would shape the approach to farming that he brought to Sunnyholt. With what at the time seemed a massive debt, the brothers moved onto their properties. They bought a crawler tractor for clearing the brigalow and, by always making sure theirs was the lowest quote, contracted out their services. Robert and his wife, Nytha, moved a caravan onto their property and parked it under a shelter — basically four posts with a tin roof — to make a home for their young family, while Wally, who at that stage was still single, lived in.
At the end of that time, however, they had cleared sufficient land to run stock and earned enough money to start buying cattle. As Wally recalls his pioneering phase, the thing he missed most was a bath. Then he fashioned a bathtub from a cutdown gallon drum and presto, he was on his way to civilisation.
The house was next on the to-do list. Having gained permission to dismantle an abandoned oil drilling rig that was on his land, Wally used this to make the framework for his dream home. By the time Wally met and married Helen, Sunnyholt boasted the relative luxury of the house overlooking one of several wetland dams on the property.
In he was awarded a CBE for services to the cattle industry. The lights and fridge are run using solar The Pearts also offer station tours where the workings of the property are explained in as much detail as guests want to absorb as well as bird watching, swimming and canoeing on the wetland dams, bush walking and movie screenings in an outdoor cinema.
Being a glass-half-full kind of guy, Rowan turned the potential disaster of a Prado rollover into a positive, by cutting it down to create his very own version of a safari vehicle for taking guests on his station tours. They might look shotgun, but they are actually very thoroughly researched.
If we were to walk away the brigalow would come back with vengeance, so we have to keep on top of it. When he arrived there were hardly any birds, and since he created the wetlands there are now more than birds on our list.
That might include brigalow, crows ash or ooline, but he also trades or buys rainforest timbers including greenheart, which is exceptionally durable, if not somewhat hard on his tools. While Robert says he does accept commissions, he likes to take his time, and usually ends up giving his work away. But gradually I became more and more drawn to working with bronze and aluminium. What he found was an abandoned termite mound, which he turned into moulds for molten metal to create intricate and original works that look like coral formations.
Wally, who insists he cannot draw, says he is always on the lookout for new materials and moulds and uses whatever he has to hand on the property.

But somehow in the. Not just any earring, as it contains a threepence minted in my birth year. In many ways Winton, population ish, is the little town that could. The wool industry collapsed, the train stopped running, and the drought seems never ending. But Winton has refused to die and looked to tourism as its lifeline.
Later revelations include what was then the largest dinosaur skeleton found in Australia, a tonne sauropod, Savannasaurus elliottorum, nicknamed Elliot for local grazier David Elliot who discovered it while mustering sheep on his Belmont station in and its friends, more long-necked herbivore sauropods and meat-eating theropods of varying sizes and types.
David and his wife, Judy, have been the driving force behind many digs and discoveries on their station and in they called a public meeting aimed at establishing a dinosaur museum at Winton. Winton also has a place in recent history books as the hometown of our unofficial national anthem, Waltzing Matilda.
Yet another claim to fame is as the birthplace of the Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd, now better known as our national carrier. Although the main headquarters for the airline moved to the more geographically central town of Longreach km to the south-east, the town remains proud of the connection. Alongside all these reasons to linger longer in Winton is its reputation as the Hollywood of the Outback.
Clockwise from above: Winton offers rich pickings for dinosaur hunters; the Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum; the landscape around Winton; sunsets are spectacular; a camel train heads out of town; publican Clive Kitchen has been very supportive of the festival.
The blood on the set of this menacing western tale of brutality and brotherly bonds may have been fake, but the sweat and tears were completely real as the predominantly northern hemisphere cast grappled with the plus-degree heat of a Winton summer. And of course, as many of the locals were extras, they became very personally involved in the project.
Pederson as an indigenous cowboy detective investigating a murder in his hometown, was made in and around Winton. The inaugural festival opened in with a screening of The Slim Dusty Movie. These pages: The forbidding landscape of sandstone ridges and grassland plains around Winton makes a great setting for Australian westerns.
There was a day devoted to dog movies, one where the theme was utes and special screenings for kids. Eleven of the 34 movies were directed by women. After a few days in town, you really begin to feel like one of them.
We found ourselves involved in a kerbside chat about the plot and several surprising twists and turns. The competition is deadly serious for these students, a chance for them to make their. However there is one happy ending. Honest and open as the outback sky. The cover features a shot of the Adelaide River snaking across the Northern Territory landscape.
The only way to visit some of these locations is by helicopter. Huge areas of Australia have been cleared for agriculture and from 10, metres you get a sense of the immense scale of these operations near Lake Liddelow in the Western Australian wheatbelt. Pink lakes are particularly easy to spot from the air.
Below: In White Cliffs in NSW was the site of an early trial of solar power, a major benefit for remote outback communities. The opal-mining town has since been connected to the grid but the reflectors remain on display. Restoration story Rex Watson and Kate Pitt have spent the past 15 years turning their historic property into party central.
Clockwise from right: A sweeping driveway leads from the highway; Rex and Kate have created party central at Moira; the homestead bricks were fired on the property; building commenced in ;. The upheaval had major impact on the course of the Murray and other major rivers, and created the Moira and Barmah lakes and the surrounding red gum forests that are now protected by the Barmah National Park on the Victorian side and the Murray Valley National Park in NSW. Clockwise from above: Ernie greets guests at Starry Nights; bedrooms in the boutique accommodation have retractable ceilings; the barn will become a museum for old farm equipment; claw-footed bath in the quarters capture views; a real deal record player.
European history began in when Henry Lewes and Charles Throsby settled the station. In Moira passed to F. From to the s it was owned by the Clark family and in the ensuing decades it had numerous owners, many of them absentee. In later years because no one was living there it gradually slipped into disrepair and people started pilfering bits of the buildings.
Timber panelling on the floor and ceiling in the entrance hallway sets the scene for the opulent interiors. A splendid vintage circus mural lines a hallway that links two sections of the sprawling homestead. Clockwise from above: The refurbished kitchen features a fabulous marble-topped island bench; Kate and her sister, Rickki, enjoy the family gathering; Kate describes her style as Boho meets Retro.
The kitchens are fully equipped for entertaining, there are generous decks with barbecues, big claw-footed bath tubs and twin-headed rainwater showers in the ensuites. The bedrooms come with retractable roofs, to provide the ultimate opportunity for enjoying the spectacular night skies.
My daughter, Carly, and I also have always dreamt about setting up. For several years Rex and his brother and partner in Watson Drilling, David, ran a pub in Deniliquin, surely a true test of tolerance for your fellow humans. Kate has long been a staunch advocate for regional tourism and until she recently took a step back to concentrate on developing Moira, was the general manager of the Deni Ute Muster, an annual coming together of country music, utes and Aussie larrikinism.
She was part of the community group that founded the Muster, which began life in as a self-help project for the district, which at the time was grappling with the combined impact of a crippling drought and poor commodity prices. The Muster has put. Deniliquin on the map as the ute capital of Australia. The event now attracts around 20, visitors to the town and is run by an army of volunteers who do everything from marshalling the traffic to cleaning up the rubbish.
Kate credits growing up in a close, fun-loving family that never let a milestone pass without a celebration as the genesis of her passion for events and entertaining. If this is a casual family lunch, we can only wonder what Christmas is like.
There is so much goodwill in the room you wonder if the walls can contain it. Indeed, it follows us out the door as we head back to the quarters, Kate thrusts containers of leftovers and wine in our hands. Ironically Kate admits that she had no intention of ever living at Moira. Yes we have big dreams for Moira, but I know we have something special to showcase. Top with spicy ginger beer, garnish with mint and serve cold.
Add all ingredients except wine to a cocktail shaker. Top with sparkling wine and garnish with lemon twist. Add lime juice. Crush the mint leaves against the side and bottom of the container with the handle of a wooden spoon. Add ice. Pour in Cranberry Fruit Drink and top with.
Mix together the Cranberry Fruit Drink and red wine in a large jug or punch bowl. Add the lime cordial. Gently stir in the water or lemonade just before serving. Garnish with lime slice. Tip: For added kick you could add two 50ml shots of brandy. But now they have closed that business to concentrate on the catering and events side of their business.
