"Toorale" homestead dates from 1895. It sits on the banks of the Warrego river, amongst mulga scrub in the arid country of far west New South Wales. Constructed from timber and iron, the homestead was abandoned by the early 1970s, and is now a home to swallows, decaying gently along with its contents, including a ruined piano.
