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 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 these wonderful photos!
