Cooper Creek in front of the Nappa Merrie Station homestead, far south west Queensland Channel Country.

Each year as Lyle and Helen drive the Arrabury Road towards Innamincka, south west Qld, they can’t help but stop and take a photo of these old shearing yards. Each year a little bit more tumbled-down.

At South Galway Station, Windorah, south west Queensland, Emily Aird and head stockman Benny Hewitt were working as part of the team to process the cattle coming through the yards.

Lyle and Helen have returned home to Kent Saddlery after 152 days (over 30,000km, and 2 days short of 5 months) on the road with Kent Saddlery’s travelling truck shop, visiting stations in the Outback. Thanks Lyle and Helen for your hard work and sacrifice. Lyle, Helen and the team at Kent Saddlery will continue to “go the extra mile” for you, our customers and supporters

Lyle, Helen and Daniel, Sonia and boys spent the weekend of August 13, 14 at Windorah and attended the Windorah Rodeo Club Campdraft and Rodeo. Following recent rain, the wildflowers are just magnificent. Paddocks close to Cooper Creek are a green/gold carpet of flowers, decorated with splashes of mauve. They smell good too!
Helen was keen to try to capture the view seen here taking a panoramic photo.

Pelicans waiting for Breakfast, Cooper Creek, Windorah, South West Queensland. Just one of the many great views Lyle and Helen see on their annual trip through The Outback visiting stations with the Kent Saddlery travelling shop.

Lyle and Helen stopped the Kent Saddlery truck while driving through Cluny Station, Bedourie, to photograph this mob of emus. They were cautiously inquisitive and only ran away when another vehicle drove past.
