May 2024. Kuyani Country, South Australia.

            Late afternoon at the abandoned township of Farina in the north of South Australia. 

Farina was once an important stop on the Great Northern Railway (old Ghan) line. Established in the 1870s, The town managed to survive in this harsh environment up until the mid 20th century. However, once the route of the railway changed, and no longer coming through this part of the country, the town had little chance of survival. It was abandoned several decades ago, and only the nearby  homestead of Farina Station continued to be inhabited. 
In the last decade or so, an effort has been made to bring some life back into the old town. A group of volunteers have done a great job cleaning up and signposting the old ruins, and with some government help have built a new cafe bakery, which is open from late May until September each year. A good quality campground has been established, and Farina now attracts a good number of tourists throughout the cooler months.
