    Farina

    June 5 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 13 °C

    Farina has an almost cult following in the area. An old railway town abandoned in ?70's. Restored underground oven now bakes everyday in June/July and sells goods from the only complete building - the cafe. Major $$ raiser for the group. 60+ volunteers, from all over Australia, do all the work, preserving buildings, selling goods. 2-3 week stays in caravan site on grounds with all water, toilets, showers, laundry ported in each year. Hundreds of caravaners/tourists visit each year.Read more
