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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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

Still there, despite mobile phones ... Best viewed on black. Explored.

Just a few small renovations required....

Both have been there for a long time!

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.
