Mataranka

We stayed at the Mataranka Homestead Resort - very dusty area but what else can you expect in a dry  area like this. The resort was the home of the replica Elsey Homestead made for the film "We of the Never Never" taken from a book written by by Jeannie Gunn. Jeannie and her husband Aenias (dont think that is the way to spell it ). were pioneers of this area and after he died Jeannie moved back to Melbourne and wrote a book about her time in Mataranka.
