"The Chair"...a single chair found on glittering salt crystals looking out over Lake Jilakin which is a hyper saline shallow lake covering approximately 100 hectares.
On the way down Jilakin Rock, an enormous granite rock overlooking a stand of Jarrah trees, woodlands, Jilakin Lake and wheat fields. It seems to have created its own environment where plants and animals have adapted to extremes of heat and cold. Acacias and other trees, lichens, fungi and grasses thrive on the rock which formed millions of years ago when a large mass of molten rock pushed up into the earth's crust. The magma cooled and crystallised and erosion removed the soil exposing rock. It seemed I could feel this ancient land as I stretched out on the rock, lizard- like and content.
Flower Filly, one of the 75 tin horse sculptures along the 20 kilometre Tin Horse Highway which leads to the venue of the annual Bush Race. The quirky sculptures have been created by local farmers using scrap metal.
