Adnyamathanha (pronounced Adna-mutna) people have lived in the Northen Flinders Ranges for around 40,000 years. Aboriginal Carvings have been found at Third Water Spring and Ochre paintings have also been found on Moolooloo by a bushwalker in an unknown location.
Third Water Spring is also home to the odd yabbie in good seasons and is a [...]

We had the pleasure of having some members of the 1st Blackwood Scout Group camp at Third Water in October.  This year a smaller group, made up of Scout member families, made the trek after being part of the larger contingent last year.  Trish sent us in some fantastic photos which we thought we’d like [...]

Here are some photos of the kids riding in the Monte Carlo event at the Blinman Races on the weekend.  This is always a very popular event with the kids and the great part is you don’t even need your own horse to compete! Thanks to some very kind horse owners who are happy to [...]

For those of you that would like to see some of the spectacular scenery covered by the Copper Track (Warraweena and Moolooloo Station) not to mention some pretty spunky motor bike riders, click on the play button below!

A big hello to John and all the fellas on the trip, great to see you on You [...]

Today is just awful, I thought I’d take some pictures so you can get an idea of how revolting it really is! As I’m writing this I’ve noticed the sky has turned red. Much worse than in these pictures. It looks like a scene from Mars and is quite eery!
I think I’ll put my washing [...]

After a blustery Grand Final weekend we drove home yesterday. I had been asleep for about 20 minutes (exhausted after celebrating our GF win!) and woke to an awful screeching noise. It was interference on the radio caused by a dust storm!  This picture is taken looking East as we turned onto the Blinman Road [...]

After receiving 50 points of rain a couple of weekends ago, followed by beautiful warm sunny weather, Moolooloo is beginning to green up at long last!  Great timing for school holidays…
Looks alot better than when we first started this Rain Gauge Photo Point in mid June!

Welcome to ‘Lucky’ the dog!
We found Lucky on the Pet Rescue web site. What a fantastic resource this is!
Lucky was at the Pound when staff at the Whyalla Vet clinic saved him before he was to be put down. They cared for him, gave him a health check, de-sexed him, wormed him, micro chipped him [...]

Our Quandongs are just beginning to ripen and the trees are quite loaded with fruit. We don’t harvest the fruit until it falls to the ground, we then cut the flesh from the seed (which is quite time consuming). Once pitted we lay the fruit on trays in the sun to dry.
If you’ve [...]

We thought you might like to see some pictures of crutching this year! Above are Tige, Corky, Chris and Pud hard at work in the woolshed at Moorillah!
And below are some lambs post ‘crutching’ – very cute!
You’ll notice in the background some heavy cloud. Yesterday was a very cold day with a few light [...]

A big hello to all the CFS crew who undertook a training exercise at Moolooloo recently! We hope you all enjoyed your stay and Lesley’s delicious homemade fare. We look forward to maybe seeing you again sometime soon.

Just a short walk from the Shearer’s Quarters at Moolooloo is an old cemetery. It has been maintained over the years by the Slade’s and Operation Flinders. It really is a fascinating part of Moolooloo’s history and well worth a visit. If you’re interested in having a look please ask at the Homestead [...]

A family of Bats! I’m not sure they were too happy being exposed but have now been safely relocated to a new home!

For those of you who know Moolooloo, here is a picture of the remains of the old woolshed. We are going to keep the beautiful old stone wall, it is a [...]

well almost?! Here you can see Fergus navigating…a cat of many talents!!!

I thought I’d better give you all an update…
I really should show my disgust in the weather more often! We had just shy of 20 points here yesterday in blustery fashion. YIPEE!!!!
So I’m not completely letting the weather off the hook by the way, but giving it it’s grace for this week at least!!!
Hoping [...]
