Hi all

Just had a few weeks travelling the Murchison, Gascoyne and Pilbara Regions staying at station stays rather that in towns. Really enjoyed the wildflowers and sticky beaking in and around the old shearing sheds. some great engines that have sat idle for many years but would still run. The highlight of the machinery was a magnificent Blackstone oil engine C1908 which was complete and would run without too much trouble at all. A few discarded mowers at one station as well.

Cheers
wce

Ahh, if only victa had kept producing the thumblatch catcher series, they would be in better shape today!

I think it's a modified mine wagon.

Hey wce,
where did you snap the monitor?
Australia has a unique harsh beauty to it.

Here's an old mine car in somebody's garden I photographed in the last week.

All it needs is a rail track.
