Murphys Haystacks consists of two separate though clearly related groups of large granite pillars and boulders standing near the crest of a broad domical hill, here called Oakfront Hill, just to the west of the Streaky Bay - Port Kenny Road, some 30km northwest of Port Kenny on the west coast of South Australia.
The origin of the granite rocks, or inselbergs is fascinating. Made up of pink (some call it red) Hiltaba granite, so named after a sheep station situated some way north-east, the haystacks have stood on top of the earth in their present form for nearly 34,000 years.
"Murphys Haystacks" were named after Denis Murphy, who was born at Inchor, Ballyagran, Country Limerick, Ireland on March 25, 1858.
He arrived in South Australia on the ship "Nebo" in 1882 and spent several years working at Peterborough and Yongala before taking up land at Calca.
He named the property "Oakfront" after his mother's home in Ireland and worked with his brother Jeremiah, who took up the property Drinanvale in the Koolkanna area.
The Murphy brothers cleared their land (the first cleared land in the district) using a log attached to two teams of bullocks.
Denis Murphy claimed to have been the first man to cart and ship wheat from the bay of Port Kenny, which was then known at Murphy's Landing
I turned just in time to snap a shot of this gull and its reflection in the wet sand as it flew by.

From a few weeks past. There was a line of photographers I was in on this Saturday evening waiting for these clouds to ignite as the sun set. They did light up quite nicely, but I'm still futzing with those files in post work and have yet to come up anything I like. Even though I "bulls-eyed" another composition, I kind of like this one. Please let me know if you don't! Thanks for looking.
Not the best light here, but I always like views of Haystack Butte,
the triangular pyramidal formation on the right.

203/365: Amish Haystacks
A field of Amish haystacks found on the Amish countryside in Ohio. I was fascinated by how the haystacks are all pilled together manually and how neat they looked. English haystacks look much more ‘processed.’

Philip drove me down to the Ocean today... It had been many years since I had seen this part of the coast... It was a very nice day and was greatly enjoyed... The lighthouse in the distance on the left is the old Canon Beach Light and is not in use anymore...
