Wilpena Station, Flinders Ranges National Park, South Australia, Australia
As I arrived early on this morning, it was hard not to be impressed by the magnificent stands of river red gums that surround Wilpena Creek and the old Wilpena Station. Surrounded by stunning views of Wilpena Pound in the distance it was easy to step back 160 years to the early settlement days of pastoral runs in the area. I really wanted to capture the heritage feeling of this site - those early settlers, enduring harsh conditions, a world of improvisation and dogged self sufficiency in a stunning landscape. As the early light reached the outlying buildings, it was hard not to feel some connection to the days gone by at this site.
Old Wilpena Station is one of South Australia's most significant pastoral settlement sites due to its well preserved condition, wealth of heritage and spectacular natural setting. An important pioneering pastoral run, Wilpena Station was established in 1851 and had a working life of 135 years, before slipping into retirement. This heritage listed site is a valuable archive of pastoral history in the Flinders Ranges and is culturally significant for both indigenous and non indigenous Australians with the site holding a continued cultural significance for the Adnyamathanha people. Wilpena Station remains the most complete group of early station buildings surviving in South Australia in an authentic pastoral landscape.

FRAMED PRINT
This clean, simple and modern look will suit any home. Your Hahnemühle fine art paper print is mounted and framed in a contemporary shadow box frame (approx 27mm wide x 48mm deep) that is available in white or raw wood. It is completed with museum grade acrylic (rather than glass) as it is light weight, transports well (doesn't break), and protects against 99% of UV. Framed prints come ready to hang on your wall. The listed size is for the print itself - the border and frame add approx 7.5cm to each side of the print (ie 15cm additional length in total).
ACRYLIC - WALL MOUNT
This frameless, glass like feel is one of the most impressive and striking ways to display your print. Printed on a professional metallic paper, creates a 'pearlescent' metallic gloss finish. The print is then face-mounted onto optically clear, museum grade acrylic which offers 99% UV protection. The crisp, clean image is then backed with treated aluminium, protecting your print from front to back. It is then finished with a diamond edge polisher. This comes ready to hang, with a thin aluminium frame hidden behind the print, so your print can be securely hung on your wall.
ACRYLIC - DESK BLOCK
Acrylic desk blocks give the print a three dimensional look and make excellent gifts. They are perfect for desks, bookshelves, and mantelpieces. These are printed on professional grade metallic photographic paper, using archival inks. It is then mounted on the back of an acrylic (plexiglass) block. It is finished with diamond polishing, buffing and a final hand polish. Since they are free-standing, no hanging system is required.
