A well known and talented Aboriginal water-colour artist was born here; his name, Albert Namatjira.
unique fencing from yesteryear, creates a rustic boundary for the now tourist tea-rooms
the tea rooms are inside building at centre of photograph now, set behind the palm trees each side of pathway.

the old church building still has the bell hanging from the tree/post.

Hi Carole,
Beautiful series of photos, which I find the old rusty cars beautifully.
The water tank is old, but beautiful.
Best regards, Irma
What a wonderful place. I like that fence. The benches in the church look like park benches, but the ones with no backs were neat with their natural wood stick legs.
A lovely and informative post - really like that fencing around the Mission; and those old rusted out vehicles were a great photo-op!
i love the fencing. what a neat old place. so rustic. ( ;
Hi Carole, beaut to see this interesting place again. Love the fence outside the tea rooms. We had very nice scones, jam & cream in the tea rooms many years back. Such an important locality isn't it, with the connection to Albert Namatjira. A nice collection of rustic vehicles too :D)
Fantastic series of photographs, Carole, and what a great place to visit.
Lots of great stuff here.
The old rusty cars are pretty cool. I would enjoy visiting the Tea Room and that fence was pretty cool looking as well.
I like the fence, just simple but it gives the place a charm. Interesting story about Albert Namatjira. His paintings are beautiful and shows the mystic of the rough nature in Australia.
Such an interesting place to visit. Think I will look of the name of the man and see if I can find some of his work. Looks as if those cars have had a long and rather hard life.
