Tilpa Station Part 4



TILPA HOTEL
If you get barred from this Pub you really are in trouble because if you’re thirst the next watering hole is ride in a Cessna. All the pubs in the country support the Royal Flying Doctor Service & all have their unique way of doing this.
At Tilpa you donate $2.00 & for that you write your name on the wall. They have already had to repaint the interior walls.


SHEEP RACES
As each sheep is shawn they are slid down a slippery dip into a temporary holding pen. This way the foreman can keep count for the individual shearer.

 
SEAFOOD FETISH
This friend absolutely loved the yabbies & would return several times throughout the evening for a feed. The whole area is rich in wildlife. This night we also had the privilege of viewing a family of Echidna moving along tracks that they must often frequent.
