They are of one of the early settlers ruins which dot the area. God knows how they got by with horses and carts as it is a very dry hot place in summer. This first one shows the town of Port Pirie on the horizon (or at least the power station chimney). Please enjoy.    30D, 50D, Canon Macro 60mm f2.8, Canon 24-105mm F/4L, Canon 70-200mm F2.8L

Yeah! That's what I thought when I saw the place. I guess not all of them were ditch diggers. Check out their back yard.  30D, 50D, Canon Macro 60mm f2.8, Canon 24-105mm F/4L, Canon 70-200mm F2.8L

Now I'm no expert on Australian settlers but I really don't think money had much of anything to do with building these structures. Rather the owners built them using materials that they gather locally. So not much money involved but a hell of alot of hard work. OMG I saw a nipple, my eye's are bleeding!
