The Kilbot Fam spent Christmas at my sister's farm* situated in Morawa, in the heart of the Australian Outback**. This sort of country is best captured in photos***, and if you click on the Full Story link you can take a pictorial journey through life on the farm.
* in fairness to my brother in-law it is really his farm, and in fairness to his kin it is really the Agar family farm.
** if you look at a map of Western Australia is hardly the heart of anything, it is not even that far from Perth on the grand scale of things… but it is out of mobile range and the country store didn't sell Marlboro Reds Soft Pack, so y'know you pretty much fend for yourself out there.
*** actually, photos don't capture a scratch of the Australian Outback, how can you fit 360 degrees of flat, burnt ground into a 800px by 600px photo? You can't, but my brother-in-law did a pretty good job****.
**** It was 42 degrees up there - my blood has become too thick for the mid west - so I sent my brother-in-law out with my dad to take some photos while I sat at the homestead and sipped on pina coladas.

Great to catch up over Chrissy Killa, all our best laid plans came to fruition and I'll never forget that magic nite by the Ravenswood River…..chucking laybacks in full stretch blacks awwwww
I think the photo of the sheep says it all with regards to my current work motivation - I like how the imagery of the maggots crawling out its mouth portrays the dogged persistence of parasites in the wilting face of 50+ degree heat…also, with maggots for eyes it looks like its wearing sunnies, awwwwww that's darling!
