How far would you travel to catch up with your friends?
For women who live and work in outback Australia, travelling hundreds of kilometres for a social engagement comes with the territory.
For Lucy Morphett from Callanna Station in South Australia's remote far north it's an easy decision to make.
"[Isolation is] probably one of the biggest challenges that people who have lived there a long time or people who are new to the area face," she said.
She was among a group of nearly 100 women who attended the Outback Ladies Muster at Hawker in the Flinders Ranges.
Some women travelled 900 kilometres to attend the event.
"We do a lot of kilometres for socialising," Maeli Mengerson said.
She, her mother, and her sister travelled 300km from Depot Springs Station, 30km from Copley in SA's far north, for the two-day networking event.
"That's what you do when you live out here," Ms Mengerson said.

That is particularly important during dry conditions such as those being faced by many, including Ms Mengerson's family on Depot Springs Station.
"We're screaming for rain … if you could send it," she said.

'Screaming for rain'
The muster gave the women a chance to participate in professional and personal development sessions but it was also an opportunity for those doing it tough to connect and reflect.That is particularly important during dry conditions such as those being faced by many, including Ms Mengerson's family on Depot Springs Station.
