Lake Hamilton Eating House, was constructed between 1851-1857. The station carried 29,000 sheep. The house was used a a stopping place for coaches and travellers until the 1880s. It is not used today but good to learn the history of some of these old homes. This was on the side of the road heading towards Streaky Bay, south Australia.
In 1996 it was retored with a new roof , and a coat off
 paint.
This is a Child Care centre, and I think its just beautful with all the bright colour flowers, brighten up it just the small town. Also along the way we came across the Dryston Walling, The was used by earlier builders for the foundations on homes, floors, roads wells and to strenghten the dam walls.It was a had flint stone like limestone. The wall dates back to the 1850s, it was classed as a cheap way of fencing. Men got paid 10 shillings per chain, a good man would do 2 chains a day. Now thats hard work when you think it would have all done by hand.
The Dryston Walling
 Streaky Bay a nice spot with a long Jetty and the day that we were there it was very windy.

And once again my favorite birds the pelican. As you can see it was windy as the waves have white caps. We bought some fresh bread then moved on, heading to Port Lincoln but calling into all the small bays along the way.
 These rocks call Murphys Haystacks, they are just beautiful ,Most likely with the weather conditions over the years they have become the amazing shape theyare today.
Below this one even has a face on it, we spent alot of time just roaming inand out of all these wonderful rocks.
God can create some great natural wonders.
