Day drive to check out Kookynie the living ghost town. In its prime 3500 people lived here established in 1907. There only about 20 people today. Lots of history with all the ruins of old buildings. When we were here 5 years ago the famous kookynie horse who goes into the pub was there today we saw him in the distance roaming free around the town probably waiting for pub to open lol.
Took a drive out to the cemetery where there is said to be 150 graves. I was shocked at how many deaths were from suicide really moving reading some of the plaques so many were just children and baby's.
There is a volunteer group who goes around fixing up and replacing plaques on all the forgotten pioneer graves in the outback. The job they do is truly amazing.
The cemetery is about 3ks out of town down bush tracks no one would even know it was there.
While we were leaving out in middle of nowhere was a stop sign gary being gary luckly actually stopped as the train was actually coming lol.Read more
