The Icecream Queue
This queue stayed long the entire afternoon.. seemed like there was only one person
serving, and she probably made the icecream herself, as there were some unusual flavours
offered. Must have been good! None from our group gave it a try - we didn't fancy waiting in that never ending queue. :)
This will be the last image for this gallery - my garden is bursting at the seams with
flowers, I'd better get the canon out and go for a wander on an overcast day!

Lily Pond
Directly in front of the station homestead was this lily pond surrounded by a circular rose hedge. Was amazing to see a water display in such a dry area for a garden.
Scroll back a couple of images to see the map of Anlaby homestead and garden.

Cosy Corner
Someone obviously lived in this section of the outbuilding... the plants and TV aerial gave it away.
Fancy if it were me having only this much garden - I wouldn't survive!
BUT there was 10 acres of garden surrounding the homestead and outhouses. That's nearly
as much as our entire garden and paddocks combined.

A popular horse
I had trouble managing to catch a photo of "Stormy" the Clydesdale without people
but at least you can see his face in this photo. I hope I don't have problems
taking photos of the 2 children here, but they were very keen to stay and cuddle
the horse. I tried again about an hour later and was successful but rather like this
image better.

Workers Cottages
Some workers cottages as we entered the home paddock and gardens
of Anlaby Station homestead. We were there for an OPEN DAY to
view some country activities and enjoy the gardens that surround
the main house. A fair distance from any township, during
the horse and cart era people living here would have to live
off the land and only occasionally visit the nearest town.
Anlaby is the home of the oldest Merino Stud in South Australia
