Undarana Outstation - a photo on Flickriver

The three families whose children I taught had moved to Undarana the year before I began teaching there (although I didn't realise this for some time). The previous outstation at Undundita had been abandoned due to water problems. Besides the sinking of a reliable bore at Undarana, I was never sure why that particular site had been chosen for the new outstation. It was situated on top of a bare ridge and in winter the winds could be freezing. In summer it was baking hot. Housing consisted of five tin sheds, three of which can be seen here next to the water tank. My school shade was at the far end, just behind my car in this photo. If you look closely amongst the flowers beneath the tree, the top of a flour drum can be seen. This was where the father of one family had his 'shade', to escape the heat and claustrophobia of his home. During the three years I taught there more substantial houses were built, and I eventually inherited one of the sheds as my school. But despite the view across the plain to Gosses Bluff, the outstation's location never appealed to me.
