Description
Lorella Springs was once a part of Nathan River Station and called Albinjula, which means "Valley of Springs". In 1969 the Lands Department divided Nathan River station and the new half became known as Rosie Creek. I don't know how "they or who" came up with the name Lorella Springs station out of Rosie Creek but "they" did.
Our family moved from Nathan River Station to Lorella on Boxing Day in 1987. We had owned Nathan River Station, but a cyclone had devastated the property and put us 6 weeks behind with the mortgage payment. A disgustingly harsh bank froze all our money, assets and income. We had virtually lost everything and Nathan River station had been sold up from under us. We had no where else to go.
That fateful night our home was under the stars, we had no shelter and all that we owned had been dumped in the bush beside our old Toyota. There were eight of us and our dogs. Rhett is my eldest child, he was 17 years old at the time. Lara was 15, Shanie 14, and our Rachael was 9. The little boys Lucas 4, Tarran 3 and my baby Jennes, was almost 2 years old. The Wet broke that night. We had tried to huddle in the back of the vehicle out of the torrential rain. It was a pretty miserable night.
