A Quick Tour of Sunday Island

Sunday Island was, in the past, operated as a freehold cattle farm, it is now owned by a co-operative of members interested in maintaining the island as a breeding space for Fallow and Hog Deer. Access to the island is only possible by invitation from a member of the co-operative. Go to http://about-town-photos.com and see photos of the deer species in my Gallery there. Much of the island is sown to pasture but most of it is natural bush country.
More of the old farm infrstructure. Sheds, fencing, gates are scattered throughtout the island.
Laneways like this one link cleared areas through the natural bush sections.
Humans are not the only ones to utilise the laneways. Here are deer tracks leading from a pasture area to a secluded bush area where they hide themselves out of harms way.
There is, what you might call 'rustic' accommodation for authorised visitors. It does have water views though. The sunrise photos in the previous post where taken from out front of this cabin.
This is the detached bathroom behind the visitors cabin. Rudimentary, yes, but clean and functional.
