More Aussie History
My love of early Australian history & military history combined when I photographed an old settlers cottage recently.
Drawn in by the sheer rustic beauty of the building, (built in the 1890's) - the stringybark slab walls are plastered with old newspapers dating between the 1890's to the 1920's - including a wall covered in WW1 news & photographs. This is close to the last of the original settlers huts in this district. there were 2 similar huts on properties that National parks took over - these were promptly pushed to the ground & burned.......enough said. The photos were only taken on a mobile phone hence the poor quality. I must return there for a much better inspection one day. Regards Robert. Last edited by Ghost; 11-10-12 at 02:10.

Robert,
Glad you took my advice and photographed the wonderful historical wallpaper in your hut. Been a bit cold up there too I hear. Regards Rick.

Official Vandalism
Here's a few pictures of the old convent that used to be in Hillston; with the help of our transient priest, the Government pulled it down for the "Building the Education Revolution". The convent was 120 years old. Judging by the way things are going with the BER, the hall intended to be built there won't get built.
