As we begin to head back to Durham Downs Station I thought I'd post some random photo's from our time there last year.
These are from the drive there. When we returned home in December we drove nearly 1600 kms in 50 hours to get home, we were very keen to see our daughters and grandchildren in the lead up to Christmas.
On leaving the last town, Thargomindah, these are the road signs seen as you leave town. We travel the Bulloo Development Road, and head out to the Bellera Gas Centre ... 233kms. This is where the bitumen ends and we are on Durham land, we have about another 50 minutes on dirt to reach the homestead area.
This is a photo of the main street of Thargomindah, a small quiet town which is the closest
town to the east of the Station.
A view of Gas Centre from the dirt road at Durham.
A photo of our ever dependable 1984 coaster bus at Innamincka for the Innamincka Picnic Races and Gymkana. It was an interesting drive for our coaster as the roads were very rough at the time. Ot
seems we were on the wrong end of the road grading cycle.
A view of the station from the air as we flew over the area in the station plane. Our house is the one on the right closest to the top. You can see the Cooper Creek in the foreground.
