did you ever see a "sheep-counter" ?
globetrott Says: This is quite an interesting construction in Eastancia Haberton : this labyrinth was used in order to count the number of sheep that had been shaved by each shaver, because they were payed by the number of sheep they did shave. The sheep went all in in the same gate and when...

onboard the ship: tasty food & you save some time
globetrott Says: When you get to Haberton by car,the local restaurant is certainly the best choice, BUT when arriving by ship from Ushuaia it really makes sense to order the lunch onboard so you will have enough time afterwards to explore Haberton on your own a bit after the guided tour. We...

globetrott Says: In the main farmbuilding of Estancia Haberton there is a nice cafe and restaurant and the large windows of it are facing the ship-landstation and the lovely english garden. We had our lunch there, when we came by car and we were really glad to find a restaurant there at...

globetrott Says: A lot of years ago this farm had thousands of sheep and all of them were shaved inside of this shed. There was a diesel-engine giving the power for the machines and that power was transferred by the wheels in my main photo to the shavers.Every shaver had a seperate exit for...
globetrott Says: Both the Willy's Jeep and the Fergusson tracktor are still in use, especially in the wintertime, that is from May till October in this part of the world. We came in the southern summer and everything was a bit dusty but I guess in wintertime you would be glad for such a...
