:D
It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.

This is just great stuff, Jeff! This place reminds me very much of an old sheep station, now under cotton, that I used to spend my school holidays at. The old bloke on it was my grandmothers brother who lived there as he felt city life a bit tough after facing Rommels army in Tobruk & El Alamain. One trip out there was the only time I ever hunted, got two rabbits! So many memories! :) :(
Anyway, thanks for this, it's good for those of us that can't get out there...yet! :wink:
Lately, if life were treating me any better, I'd be suspicious of it's motives!

thanks for that Jeff, :)
were these building in the middle of nowhere or just out back of somebodys property? Just trying to get an idea of if you happened across them or what. Either way it would have been interesting wandering through.

Thanks Craig.

Matt,

They are from an old property as the place we hunted is two properties joined into one. It is interesting looking around these old buildings.
