Stonehenge In Australia

You thought there was only one Stonehenge? Puhleeze. If you want to survive in this tough retail environment, you gotta franchise.

OK, maybe not the complete story. Or the story at all. How about some biz-man got the idea to build a full scale replica as a tourist attraction. He got as far as the cut stones and then ran out of money. Enter a neighboring farmer who bought the pile of stones and created Stonehenge on his own property. Maybe good for the cows.

Welcome to Stonehenge in Esperance, Australia.


It's better than a replica of the UK ruin. This Stonehenge is all together!

Sarah and James were there during a hailstorm, adding to the medieval effect.

Roaming Rural Australia, Part One

Time to road trip to Southwest Australia, wander the two lane bands of asphalt, see some old industry, nature, curiosities.

Grain elevator, distant train cars.


Westonia. Watching out for the local fauna.

Big Orange in Harvey. Classic roadside vernacular architecture. Local flora, in bloom.
