Tobruk Sheep Station -

Maroota

The residents from Bella Vista Gardens residence recently
made a visit to the Tobruk Sheep Station, Maroota.

The residents of Bella Vista Gardens residence recently made a trip

to the Tobruk Sheep Station, Maroota in April. There they enjoyed
an entertaining Outback Show surrounded by the beauty and
history of Tobruk, overlooking the Hawkesbury River Valley. On
arrival, the residents were greeted by a stockman on horseback.
The drive into Tobruk Sydney included breathtaking views of the
property, with the Blue Mountains showing off in the background.

The Outback Show itself was an exciting display, with the residents
experiencing and witnessing skilful demonstrations and
performances - including stockmen on horseback, hot billy tea and

damper around the campfire. There was also a duck show, sheep
muster, working dog display, yard work presentation, sheep
shearing demonstration, wool-room presentation, whip-cracking
and boomerang-throwing display.

The photos reflect the Australian spirit; with many captured of the
residents eagerly watching the sheep shearing demonstrations and
yard work presentation.

Thank you to Phil Smith for capturing these beautiful photos!
