Mount Bundy Station NT Australia

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our stay from 25th May to the 2nd June

looking at the entrance to Mount Bundy Station with the owners house 

on top of the hill over looking his land. 

The original owner was Fred Hardy  Back in 1911 he was a Buffalo hunter.

His Property then was 1.1 million acres witch then  covered the  boundaries 

of  all litchfield  National Park.  Also all of the Kakadu National Park.

He lived here till 1940. At the age of 59 years when he died in a horse race.

  He is buried on the hill to look over the land he loved.

But in 1942 Darwin was bombed the Americans made this there defense base.

Being there are plenty of high hills for cover and rivers to help detected incoming submarines

they could also  repair there bombers.

While here they built some of the cabins that are still  here today and used

 as the bunk houses for the workers that live here.

To day they still run Braham Cattle  and Quarter Horses

Our Caravan site is parked right under the trees so we are shaded well .

Our van is on the left and Pat is reading his book.  

Ronnie and Arnold s is on the right. 

Just be hind our van is a lovely old tree called  a Banyan Tree.

I love the way the roots have grown and hanging down. 

As you can see I have put in the Ladies showers witch they call 

( Cows )

See they have used horse shoes as hangers looks great

they have cut the horse shoe in half to make a hook. 

The shower look different all tin but very clean.

 It is all inside of a big barn cows one side and the Bulls on the other.
