Wandilla Station

On Friday night, we went out of our way to find Wandilla Station, as we wanted to continue experiencing camping on working stations rather than regular camp grounds.
The clue we had to look out for was the SpongeBob SquarePants mail box!


Who could miss it?  Well, it was a bit off the beaten track, about 15 kilometres south of the little town of Eulo.


The red earth gets me every time.


We had the choice of camping anywhere on the station, but as we're not totally self sufficient, we stayed close by the amenities and used the camp kitchen to prepare our dinner.


There were many photo opportunities which I'm sharing here.


The above sheds house accommodation and the camp kitchen.


Camp anywhere!


We were desperate for the chance to do laundry and there it is...a little hut housing the washing machine!



We hung our laundry between the trees.  We were worried it would not dry in time before we set off in the morning.





After bidding farewell to David we set off to visit the town of Eulo.
We did a little shopping before doing some sightseeing.



Lizard Racing Track?


It's obvious that out Eulo way, people like to have some fun!





Life-size Diprotodon statue.
Fossils of these giant megafauna have been found in the Eulo area.



The Eulo Queen Hotel is said to have been owned by Isabel Gray, a pub owner and three times married gambler, opal dealer and self proclaimed Queen of Eulo (or so the legend goes).




On our way out of town, there was no shortage of emus. 


The emus don't really like sightseers so it was a bit difficult to capture them but I felt determined as I promised our Grand Daughter some photographs of emus.
