Finished work, so it’s time to shop and have a yarn, with everyone at Carlton Hill Station, WA, checking Kent Saddlery’s travelling shop. Lyle and Helen are always kept busy at the stations they visit. Only 7-8 weeks to go on Lyle and Helen’s trip.
Great to visit Spring Creek Station, Duncan Road on the NT, WA border and meet up with the consistently enthusiastic Mike Shaw. It was a genuine happy-snap of Lyle, Helen and Mike (pictured left to right) looking at Mike’s story “The Old Fashioned Way” in ” Stories of Australian Country People”.
Kayla Struber, of Rosewood Station on the Duncan Road, WA, and author of “Stories of Australian Country People” Helen Kent shared a satisfying moment looking at Kayla’s story “The best way to grow up”. Kayla continues to work in the role of Head Stockman / Person at the Station which is managed by her parents Doug and Joanne Struber.
Looks like a great place to stop for morning tea, a waterhole on the road into Bullo River Station, NT. Lyle and Helen see a lot of great Australian bush scenes in their travels.
Keen night shoppers at Legune Station near Kununurra, WA on Sunday, 5th of June. At 10 weeks on the road now for Lyle and Helen, they have just covered half of the stations they will visit this year; still a lot to go!
Like bees round a honey pot, workers at Moolooloo Station, Top Springs, NT were keen to spend some time looking at the Kent Saddlery Station Photos albums.
Peter Lane, who has “….done a bit of ringin…” was again working at Montejinni Station, Top Springs, NT, when Lyle and Helen visited at the end of May. He liked the story Helen wrote and we’re certain that readers will too.
The Top Springs Pub and camping Grounds NT, where the Buchanan and Buntine Highways cross paths, is a great meeting place for both travellers and people who live in the area. Lyle and Helen were happy to cross paths there with Sheilagh Savage “Boss Drover’s Daughter”.
