As everyone at the station has been busy mustering, branding, marking, tailing, separating the fats(those going to market) from the heifers, sorting weaners and bulls(some sent to market), and breaking in young horses they've been staying out at camp. George decided one Saturday morning to drive me out for a visit to the stock camp at Isley's Dam. But as we went we passed Norm our camp cook heading back in for fuel and supplies so when we arrived no one was there. The boss and ringers were walking the cattle across country and the chopper pilot was in the air as we could hear their conversation over our UHF.
We wandered around while we waited so I could have a look and take some photos. Below on the left side, is a photo showing the camp kitchen truck with a fuel tank on the front. The truck behond has the yellow water supply tank, and the blue object is the generator.in the foreground you can see the campfire area with cornbeef cooking in the front pot.
A view from the other direction with a twin deck cattle truck behind the campfire. A swag can be seen in front of the truck.
Inside view of the camp kitchen truck.
The grader was used to haul the camp kitchen trucks out to camp. The second truck with the water and generators, also houses the stores.
