Poor Nerrigundah

Poor Nerrigundah
Almost three years ago, I posted a series of images from a little village called Nerrigundah and put them into an Album. The village was built following a gold rush here in 1861. In 1866 while holding up the whole town and making a gold robbery, a gang of bushrangers killed a local policeman here. This is the memorial to him (click on the PiP to read the story) .

Sadly, the vast bushfires of late 2019-early 2020 almost destroyed Nerrigundah entirely. Many of the locals sheltered in the Fire Shed (the green building at right) and only a handful of houses survived. The base around the memorial has been replaced, but the historic shops and other buildings have all gone - this was taken from about the same angle as the PiP.

I had intended to post this on a Friday, but it really doesn't feel right for HFF....

For the next few days I shall be almost entirely offline due to other commitments (all good). Best wishes all, especially to Andy for your ongoing recovery.

Sorry to hear this--and we sure can relate! Wildfires are a global issue now. The joke around here is that fire season is now Jan 1 thru Dec 31.

A sad story George The poor policeman and then the devastating fires in recent times are a real tragedy. Your PiP is very evocative of the past.

Have a good new week.
