During our time in the South Australian outback, we were invited to experience a farm-stay at Mouth Eba station – the official centre of South Australia! We got a taster of life on the working sheep station, learned a little about what’s involved in producing wool, and in mustering cattle.

We also met some kelpie farm dogs who seemed excited to see us – although, on second thought, I think they are excited about EVERYTHING!

The owners use a gyro-copter to travel around the vast property, and Scott took the opportunity to go for a tour in this tiny flying machine, what an experience!

Thank you Margie & Pete for hosting us, and thanks to @wrightsair for flying us in.
