Great stop with wonderful things to photograph like the giant Lady, child and lizard sculptures which are a great photo depending where the sun is at the time of your visit and not to forget the aborigine hunter high on the hill at the back of the roadhouse too.
As you drive pass you can not be attracted to the giant Statues, which look good anywhere against the outback landscape but especially true here.
There is also an Art Gallery shop with hundreds of works by local Aboriginal artists at extremely good prices …not being marked up like at the other centers.
