Seeking shelter in the shade. - a photo on Flickriver

            Shelter in the shade.

This house was once a home and just who called it home has been lost in the passage of time.
Most likely it was home to the grazier who we can only assume lived here with his family, a wife and possibly several children.

It was quite possible that it was not an easy life but it was a lifestyle that only people from a rural background would understand. 

There would have been good times as well as bad times and they would have witnessed drought and flood and a variety of other adversities.

Perhaps the children were sent to boarding school due to the distance to a local school and it goes without saying that the parents would have spent their last penny to ensure that their offspring received the best possible education.

Maybe the son or sons returned to the farm to take over the reins when the time came, we will never know.

Today the house is long abandoned and for what reason?

Was it due to financial reasons or was it due to the conditions that were uncontrollable such as prolonged adverse weather conditions.

What we do know for certain is that what was once a home is now a house and it serves as a reminder of what once was.

A short distance from the house are two large gum trees which to provide shelter for the stock that runs on the property.

Maybe there was a time when children played in and around these trees but that now belongs to a past time.
