Waka Station – What a day!

It was the last day shearing at Lake Stewart today.  They just had 1 run to do so they started at 5am.  Finished at 7:30am ready for breakfast, then we had to clean up, pack up, drive just 10kms down the road to Waka Station, set up camp again, have lunch then back to shearing for the gang.

We finally got to set up our tent fully for the first time and it feels great to have our own space!

Waka Station is where we came last year for our holiday.  It looks quite different this year with vegetation everywhere from all the rain they had this year.  We also got an awesome surprise when we walked into the kitchen!

A modern outback kitchen!!!

 

These refurbished old fridges are cupboards

The dining room

 

This old wood fire stove could still be cranked up…but maybe in the winter!  Loved the big modern gas oven.  Now this is an oven to feed a shearing gang!
