It was once a town abandoned and decaying in the desert, but now, a painstaking restoration has revived the thriving pulse of this historic hub. 

As with all country towns, the heartbeat is a bakery and this one lives beneath the ground, run by a team of dedicated volunteers from all over Australia who make up the Farina Restoration Group. 

The township of Farina in South Australia’s arid far north once boasted a population of 300, hosting the end of the line for the Great Northern Railway.
