Welcome to Shandonvale. Their mobs of Dorper sheep are the stars of the show out here..
-
You'll find peace and beauty in spades at the waterholes around the station.
-
And you'll find very appealing places to chill with a refreshing beverage too ...
-
Like the rather gorgeous spa, overhanging the river.
-
Here come the gourmet nibbles and champas to tide us over the arduous spa session.
-
Deon will get you involved in mustering if it's on, plus any number of farm activities that need doing.
-
You will be invited to a beautiful dinner in the homestead with the family each night. Your host, Deon (far left), is also an incredible chef.
-
Here's the renovated shearers' quarters where you'll lay down your head!
-
Target practice anyone? This got our eye in for clay pidgeon shooting, which was next on the agenda.
-
Going on our target results, the clay pidgeons are pretty safe.
-
The pace is exhausting.
-
Shandonvale homestead, a few hundred metres from your quarters.
-
Deon collects fresh produce for lunch from their robust vege garden.
-
Lane will take you out on her morning ritual feeding all her four-legged family ... and there are loads of them.
-
Rossy's found a little mate who couldn't keep up with the mob on the muster.
-
And another little friend ... we fed ducks, chooks, pigs, a pet emu, lambs, dairy cows ..
-
The shearers' quarters, which Deon rebuilt inside and out - a truly beautiful result. There are currently four double bedrooms on offer.
-
Thanks so much Shandonvale ... we'll be back!!
