Mootwingee Historic Site

It was great to revisit our old home that held many good memories. We were the first family to live in the house. It was white with natural wood then, no fences, power or phone and it seemed like a palace after caravan life with a 3 month old baby.....

We did have an old Flying Dr. radio that did not work very well and I have always remembered our call sign - 8NOO Mootwingee. That radio was the bane of my life as it always seemed to break down when I had to use it....

There was a series of rockholes just over the creek from the house and after the drought broke these were full and I often took Kim and Natalie in for a cool down which meant removing leeches later with salt......

The views outside our living room windows

Mootwingee will always hold a special place in our family memories both for the good and the difficult times and we are happy that we lived there and our footsteps are part of its history......
