Established in 1853 by the Warwick family, Holowiliena is the only remaining pastoral property in Australia still owned by the original family. It would take me a full days travel to arrive a Holowiliena station - a flight to Adelaide, a small aircraft to Port Alfred then a 3-4 hour drive into the Flinders Ranges. This is a spectacular part of the world and still very much frontier country. It can be very, very dry but whilst I visited over 2 years Frances, Luke, Stella & Tod saw wild flowers! The first time they had shown their pretty faces in Frances' adult life.
