Explanation: Goyder's Line

Goyder's Line was meant to define the limits of agricultural land in South Australia, but
after a few abnormally good seasons there was pressure from farmers to allow development
of land well north of this line, with talk of "wheatfields all the way to the Northern Territory".
Most of the abandoned farm buildings I photographed were north of Goyder's line.
