INTERIOR QUICK TOUR : We were surprised to come across a guy with keys and he showed us around after he had locked up the place (we were very grateful) - There are days when no-one would visit and these volunteers don't get paid, so my hats goes off to him and those that help-out; It is a very isolated location and I wouldn't want to sit there all day ! ...

When I said we were filming and admiring the homestead, they pointed more on the way to look-out for !
