Braidwood Courthouse

05 Mar 2025 22 23 98
The Braidwood Courthouse is a Federation style brick building, built in 1900 to replace an earlier one. It is not now in use as a courthouse, but is used for government offices and the local police station. It is alongside the Post Office (earlier image in PiP). Happy Wednesday Wall, everyone. .

Abandoned

Abandoned country building. I'd think it was for storage, rather than a residence. HFF, stay safe and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.

Hermitage Hill

13 Sep 2018 39 28 649
Now a convention centre and country retreat, until 1989 Hermitage Hill was the hospital for the inland town of Wellington. This is the Heritage Listed former Main Ward building, some details are: "The Main Ward building, 1903/4, of the old district hospital is a large and impressive building sited on a hill overlooking the town and valley. ....Built ...of local red bricks from the Wellington Kiln, the main block of the hospital is designed in the Federation Queen Ann/Filigree style. Queen Ann elements can be seen in the varied roof shapes, Marseilles patterned roof tiles, terracotta ridge ornamentation, tower, gable facing street, timbered effect in gable, and Filigree elements evident in the substantial iron filigree to the verandah." HFF and have a great weekend, everyone. Explored.

The High Court

11 Jun 2018 24 17 657
Australia's High Court building, another example of the "Concrete Brutalism" architectural fashion. I'd have to say it does look as if the concrete could stand cleaning. :-) Best viewed large. Explored.

Sunset on the Mekong

16 Feb 2017 17 15 622
In southern Laos. Best viewed large. We're heading away tomorrow by road for a few weeks and I expect my time online will be limited at best. It's been great being part of the community here, so I'll take this opportunity to say to all my friends what I hope is simply "au revoir" rather than "goodbye". This link seems pretty relevant to the times if not the image, and I hope "we can hula again" (sorry, you'll need to follow the link to make any sense of that) on my return. :-)

Back at the wharf

01 Sep 2016 25 22 576
Back at the historic Tathra wharf. I suspect that, what is now a walkway with stairs was once a cattle loading ramp. I felt this needed a musical link. Definitely needs to be viewed large. HFF and have a great weekend, everyone.

Opening soon

I can remember when this place was always busy . Now, although it looks derelict - I'd like to believe the sign in the window. :-) Best viewed large. For a musical link, you might care to try this. Explored.

The tin church

This metal church is a good example of 'bush' architecture from earlier days. HFF Explored.

Macquarie Island 1968: The main station area

20 Apr 2013 501
From an old slide. These conditions were known as a "Freeze-up", not least because the pipes bringing our water supply from the plateau sometimes did just that. Fortunately this usually lasted only a few days. The row of nissen huts were primarily for storage, the small yellow building with the cross was known as "Chippy's Church" and was the station brewery. In the right foreground is the kitchen/mess, while the main accommodation block is in the foreground, hidden below the brow of the hill.
