Abandoned Farmhouse, Burra, SA, Australia

Abandoned Farmhouse, Burra, South Australia (SA), Australia

This abandoned farmhouse was first photographed by famous Australian landscape photographer Ken Duncan. After that a lot of photographers go on their pilgrimage to that place. It’s located 3 km north of Burra, on the Barrier Highway, just next to the road. The best time for photographing it is the second part of the day and sunset of course. Because of its popularity the owner had to put “Private Property. Trespassers Prosecuted” sign on the fence. You will probably not be able to find such sign elsewhere in that region. So please do not get over the fence in order to get better viewpoint.

February 27, 2009 - 6:38 pm Ilya Genkin - Thanks, Beau! It's a nice place but if you plan to go there then plan to visit something else in that region. I'm in the process of preparing travel notes (with photos of course) so you will be able to get idea of the region. There is only one problem - I'm a terrible writer!

March 10, 2009 - 8:02 pm Ilya Genkin - Galina, thank you so much! How nice for you to say that!

March 10, 2009 - 8:41 pm Tom Parkes - Awesome landscape you have captured here Ilya, so simplistic and beautiful.

March 12, 2009 - 9:03 am Claudia - All your shots are simply amazing, I really love this one, the colours are beautiful.Compliments for your talent ^_^

March 13, 2009 - 10:08 pm Ilya Genkin - Thank you very much, Tom! Nice to hear that from you! Wanted to make this photo for years. So when I was there I know what exactly I want. Claudia, thanks a lot! Really appreciate!

May 16, 2009 - 2:04 pm Matt Lauder - Top shot... got to love that contrast of yellow to blue. What time of the year is this?

May 17, 2009 - 7:39 pm Ilya Genkin - Thanks a lot, Matt! It was end of December.

June 28, 2009 - 9:31 pm Charles Fortin - The House was first featured on the 1987 album cover of the Australian rock band Midnight Oil. Sorry, Ken Duncan did not discover this old cottage. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_and_Dust

June 28, 2009 - 9:45 pm Ilya Genkin - Charles, this actually Ken Duncan's photo on the album cover. :-) You can find this photo on his web-site.
