Tobruk Sheep Station -

Maroota

The residents from Bella Vista Gardens residence in the
Hills recently made a visit to the Tobruk Sheep Station,
Maroota. The photos Phil Smith took were so great we
thought we would share them with everyone.

The residents of the 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 Phil
for taking such wonderful photos!
