My Cottage & My Views

My arrival at the station was delayed by three days, just because these guys are pretty laid back.

The side effect was I got to explore one of our iconic towns, spent a night camping on a salt pan then had a leisurely drive to Mount House Station. 

As you know I prefer to arrive at night totally exhausted because then most things look quite rosy. Weird huh? This night arrival was no exception. 

 

My little fibro (asbestos) cottage is probably over 60 years old and is what real estate agents would describe a “renovators dream.” I have an outside dunny with a resident green frog, a cold bath but warm showers, power is solar. A hills hoist washing line! 

My three bed roomed cottage is also the school. Two bedrooms have become classrooms. My home faces east south east and so I get to enjoy beautiful Kimberley sunrises and sunsets. 

 

I have the pleasure of constant dust and constant lowing of cattle. There is a flock of guinea fowl, several roosters who only appear to have one chook each in their harems, two habituated brolgas and a mad emu.  Wallabies every evening. These creatures are just wondering around randomly. Its great.
