Who is the cook?

the cook is away, but Willie must be somewhere outside!



GMaps BlueDot (detail) please with no (more) spoilers (than we already have with this screenie and initial words)!  

Who is the cook and who is Willie? Also you will know it by solving time.


Sorry if turns out to be an easy one - I am no F&G-er, you know and clues are just teeming in this opening post. (I think) *


( : 

*Yup! - you might not use image search...) :

GLens at least finds it.

... 

Oops - forgotten basic rules with reverse image search and GLens...

Still I would like everybody to look up this cool place and get to know its lovely hosts!

Might the cook forgive me that I have messed this meal up...!

Also sorry for the disappointment Gamers around here! 

Next time... ( ;

I think Willie won't be far away 

I think this is easy for insiders only

OK, found by AI sleuth

 bluntly, the cook is


and willie is a male. 😗

Why am I under the impression that I haven't "solved" anything coming to this place? I still feel puzzled, dazzled and confused. 

I was not sure if smoking is allowed here. Anyway, I hope to taste this upper row on a fine sunny afternoon. Looks like a source of good cheer and kindness.

welcome villaman !

Yeah! That trophy with the cigarette is hilarious! ( :

Thanks villaman, my dear pal and bro for calling in time to time! 

That laptop looks familiar.

Implements of torture adorn the walls to scare off those that ask too many questions JL. And I am still yet to take up an offer of a night in the "starlight room".

More clues actually on this detail of the original Bluedot image.

Nope.

It was a clue for those who still think that Willie and the cook are the same species... ( :

Actually my best guess was that Willie was a dog.

... That the dog's name is Digger.

How else should to call a dog around abandoned, outback gold fields?!

I guess, answer-time is already over for a long time, so here we go:

The cook is Kevin Pusey, a special old friend of mine from the red continent who keeps this cool, remote place running with his lovely wife Margaret, whom I send my best wishes also as this way!

I have bumped into him on the Net many years ago, still some times I need his expertise in Australian (pre)history and other Outback stuff...

After they go retired (never) they plan to stay there in Kookynie, so anytime you happen to be around, I recommend to visit them to meet great persons in the middle of the barren desert, in the heart of the historical gold-fields of Western Australia.

Oh, much sorry for the bump, but more for the indecency that I forgot to say:

Many thanks y'all who have participated! 

I see it was For Sale for any F&G members who want to buy it.  A nice story by syzygy.  Thanks.
