Along the Road Back from William Creek

After our flight, it was well into lunch time, so we went to the roadhouse in William Creek for a bite. The choices were limited in all possible ways. We ordered some sort of meat and it was edible and neither of us had gastric issues, so it must been acceptable.

Since we no longer had a plane to catch, we took our time and enjoyed the sights along the road. Above is that ubiquitous machine, the wind-driven water pump. No doubt the source of life for the men and cattle on this station.



Perched along the road we saw a Wedged Tailed Eagle surveying his territory. The white spots on his back confused us for a long time but I finally found other images of him that make it clear that he does, indeed, have such markings.

Neither the photo of the eagle nor the Brown Falcon below are very good. I just could not seem to get the focus on these guys. Perhaps it was the heat rising that complicated the autofocus but I'll take the blame. At least you can see that this is a Brown Falcon.
