"Farina" In outback Australiaa
Previously i have posted about this ghost town in outback Australia which is being rebuiilt by volunteers, One of the first restoratiuons was the underground bakery which contributes many needed dollars for further restoration .
The works programme lasts a short time when volunteers gather to perform their work. Bakers are essential services and volunteers are always needed so if you want a real adventure a holiday in Australia and fancy a unique baking experience this could be for you in 2024. attached is the news letter recently arrived

I Believe registration for volunteers starts around December
Thanks for posting these additional articles! They are truly fascinating. If only I were younger, and not many 1000's of miles away. I'd be a regular tourist here. The photo gallery is hauntingly beautiful. Such a wondrous country.

Hi OWS old mate
i am glad thay you found interest in the Farina group's newsletter, i really do admire the work and dedication of the volunteers and would really like to make the long trek there myself.
It's so good that the bakery has not only led the preservation work but that it is a living monument and working piece of history but also contributes by generating funds for further retoration.
How do you like the sign post showing the distance of your neighbours HomeSteads.
i am in absolute awe of the early pioneers that went out into this country and establshed substantial places like this and later the demise. Even more incredible is our first nations people that were able to live and traverse this wide land that can be so very harsh and have done so for thousands of years.
My wife and i and a former work colleague and his wife took our selves of for a bit of a days outing to discover Mandurah's giants, something we had all put on our bucket list. So with a lovely day forecast and before the really hot weather hits we headed south to see these masterpieces derived from pallets. It was such a fun day plus we had a great fish and chips lunch on the estuary in the town.

Thanks for that! My wife discovered those about a month ago, and says she showed them to me, but I don't remember that. I loved seeing them though. Wonderful creativity.
Kind regards
