kanyaka ruins & cemetery印象
-
In the early morning sunlight as we wandered through the extensive stone ruins of this once huge sheep station that supported 70 families, we pondered a bygone era dating back to the 1850's that had to be self sufficient in an isolated, severe environment. Detailed, informative plaques and photos depicting the buildings - including a men's kitchen - before they became ruins and a stroll to the cemetery nearby assisted our appreciation of the ruins and their history. So pleased we took the time to visit these historic ruins.

Well this place was amazing!!! Normally when u visit ruins, there are a few walls standing the old fireplace and maybe a garden wall. These ruins were well and truly intact except for the roof. The main house and surrounding buildings told the story of life here also how clever and tough fore folk were when it came to building solid places. The shearing sheds must of been like a palace to the shearers and sure luxury for the day and year. Worth exploring this area well worth the detour.

This was once a hugh station complete with a large shearing shed and complex. The weather patterns changed and it was abandoned. You can wander around and imagine what life must have been like 100 years ago. Some of the buildings have been partially restored. The ruins are a monument to poorly thought-out and informed government policies at the time. The thoughts of the day was "The rain follows the plough" They were wrong.

this attraction really needs some maintenance. All of the signs are almost illegible because of age. This is an important piece of history in this area. There should be some information re the family as well.

This place must have been enormous in its heyday, the ruins cover a very large area compared to most in the Flinders. It's well worth taking the time to wander around the site, I only wish there had been a bit more information on the history of the station.

The ruins of this grand homestead are well-preserved and visiting them is easy and very interesting. They are a spectacular reminder of the hopes and dreams of settlers in a very harsh environment. They are also a monument to poorly thought-out and informed government policies at the time.

Very interesting place to stop, walk around and explore the original stone buildings and accommodation and take photographs.
