Making a go at it

Coburn - aka Cockburn, South Australia view map

Someone had a go at living in this desolate spot on the edge of the border between
South Australia & New South Wales. Imagine living here in summer when the temperature
climbs to (& stays in) the mid 40's, everything around you is dust dry and you're sharing your
shelter with a couple of deadly snakes. The rainwater tank has sprung a leak and you
don't expect rain for another 6 months - if you're lucky & still alive!
Of course, there's always the pub...

Pub sounds a good idea...

Wonderful shot Von. Makes you think of those who tried to live in these areas. They were made of tough stuff.

This is a great image. It is quite evocative of Australia a long time ago.
