Big creek and Palmer River run through there. Homestead, sheds, houses, even pool in Home Paddock this side (left). And here (right) yards with cattle and horses. They driving across from Home Paddock with feed for the stock in the yards, crossing all the creek and river there.
This was long time ago, about 1983. It was really busy place. All living there, working, mustering, looking after stock, then swimming in that pool at end of day. Now is all abandoned. Sad place. No families living or working there now. All gone.
