Ok, a short blog for a short day. Jen did all the driving
for the short, mostly uneventful run to Home Valley Station with a short stop
at a lookout as we left the Cockburn ranges where we could get Telstra for the
first time in days… cleared the backlog of texts and missed calls, and move on.
Home Valley is now run by an Indigenous Land Corporation and part
of its role is to provide training opportunities for Indigenous youngsters, as well as a fabulous spot to catch Barramundi (maybe next time). On
first impressions it’s doing well. It appears that the youngsters are
incorporated across the frontline of at least the hospitality side of the
business and get active mentoring from
experienced staff brought in for that role. On paper the facilities are top
notch (look them up. It’s easier than me trying to remember and list them!), so
it’s a shame the execution lets them down enough for Drysdale to remain as my
favourite Station so far.
This afternoon was a gentle walk to Bald Hill, then to the
pub to catch up on our blogging with a cold beer before dinner.
