| All the homestead ponies were done up for the occasion |
 |
| Gary on harmonica, SJ the Korean on drums, Steve "Get A Haircut Yer Bastard" on bass, Eric in the middle on guitar - Eric is legally blind but can see a tiny pinhole view up close, and he keeps the band from degenerating into a shambling noise mess |
 |
| Clarrie singing his own compositions, which mostly go like this: "He may have been a drover, or a ringer on his own He died among the gum trees, a digger far from home" |
 |
| Old shearer's beds in the foreground, ready for drunken soft landings |
 |
| SJ the Korean wins the crowd over with a drum solo |
 |
| Lindsay the homestead caretaker with Chutney the miniature horse - Chutney has Aussie flags woven into her mane |
 |
| You're not true blue unless yer got yer old hat |
 |
| The local (as in from 300 km away) homestead owners from all around Meekatharra, wearing their party clothes - shy, lovely blokes |
 |
| Meeka townsfolk Clarrie and Micho (Micho plays Santa on the annual lolly run and also manages the Commercial Hotel) |
 |
| Nigel is a big sweetie, he had polio as a child but still manages to stagger around and is manager of the hardware store, everyone loves him |
 |
| My fave photo of the day! It doesn't get more Aussie than that |
