Farewell to Thundelarra Station after a very peaceful stay.
We were quite impressed by the tidiness of the farmyard. Very many Station
properties have an enormous amount of old rusty equipment and junk lying around
which definitely detract from the appearance.
It was a thrill to see two Major Mitchell Cockatoos fly up
as we departed. We have been expecting to see these large white and
pink cockatoos in the inland. They are magnificent birds.

A wide gravel road was a pleasure to drive on. Western
Australia do have excellent roads..so many of them are gravel. The road curved
through many salty clay pans and some very pretty range country until we came
upon ‘Fields Find’ mining centre. We drove around the deserted area, taking
note of mullock heaps, the old batteries, pit mines and a 6 metre deep mine
shaft. The Cemetery was interesting a s well. The graves had been restored late
last century. As always these old and remote cemeteries tell tales of hardship
and disaster. Our friend Helen Brock can remember visiting this area as a
child. I wonder what it was like then..about 60 years ago. How many people
lived and worked these mines. We found it an interesting place to visit.
We noticed quite a number of Kurrajong trees among the
mulgas. Some were growing on the road verge and the grader had carefully graded
around them. They must be significant!
Payne’s Find Roadhouse was the next stop for us. A very
simple shop with only a very few supplies and yes. I found a small packet of
Liptons teabags which will last John a few days..we have saved disaster!
Several roads went south from Payne’s Find and eventually we
found the one that led to Beacon. What a pretty drive as it led off beside
Moore’s Lake. Or was it a mirage we could see. Distant water in the desert is
quite disconcerting. This mirage even had a reflection of trees on the bank.
Dry station properties consist of a lot of large salt pans or Salina (another
name for salt lake) have a lot of Samphire growing on them. The colours are
soft green/grey to s deep red/purple. It can be steamed and eaten as a
vegetable. Maybe I did not need to buy that last lot of broccoli!
John spotted a Quandong tree. He has treid to grow them at
Milawa without much success so he collected a bag of nuts to try again. There
was fruit on the tree. I hoped that I would not be asked to make Quandong jam
while out here. Many years ago when we were touring the Kimberleys we
found a wonderful crop of Rosellas. I had
never heard of Rosella plants only Rosella birds. Anyway my friend Del and I
made jam from this fruit. The boys had fun weighing the sugar and of course
what jars would we put the finished jam in. It was delicious on our morning
toast.
Eventually we came to the STATE BARRIER FENCE. It was
constructed during the late 1950s to keep emus, goats and wild dogs out of
farming areas. It was called a Vermin Proof
Fence.
Our destination for the day was a very attractive camping
area at Billiburning Rock which we climbed late in the day. It is a large rock
area with smaller rocks scattered over it. The view from the top showed the surrounding large area of wheat crops. It is mallee country similar to the Victorian
Mallee.

Foe several days we have been noticing a tree which we are
not familiar with. Today our lunch spot was amongst a number of these lovely
eucalypts. This evening John has identified it as eucalyptus loxophleba. It can
grow as a tree or a mallee form with a lignotuber. This is exciting for me as it is
different tree for me to select leaves for dyeing.
