Fraser Station, we spent two nights here and took a tour around the station,it was huge, we did a tag along tour as there wasnt enough room in the 4 wheel drive so we followed behind in our own car. It worked out really well as we had the cb radio so the guide was able to give us details as we travelled over the station.


This is a dam which was build on the station many years ago to feed the cattle, it is now empty, but a second wall was also build to keep the animals out. The local animals like kangaroos,Emus and some of the smaller creatures as well.
It was built by hand so imagine moving all the roaks and stones and then placing them in the exact spot. It must have taken ages..
This picture shows a water tank built of rocks and
 then a drain where the water ran  out for the
 animal to drink from. Most of the land was flat and had alot of spinfex covering the ground, certainly wouldnt want to walk through that to much you would be left with quite a few scratches

Back at he caravan park you can see our van in the back, this where we gathered in the evening to talk about our travels and many had a tale or two to tell. Great with fire roaring.

Around the property there were Damara sheep these sheep don't need to be sheared as the wool doen't grow very long. And the galads or pink and greys as the locals call them. There were also many kangaroos and crows around the area.
