The Southern Highlands are quite high-brow. Here old is tidy.
We crossed the border into Victoria cruising down a lovely timbered road before breaking into the rich dairy country of Gippsland. It is wonderful to see the land green after more than 10 years of very dry weather. But most of the state of Victoria is still drought declared. Musing: The Pasture by Robert Frost "I'm going out to clean the pasture spring; I'll only stop to rake the leaves away (And wait to watch the water clear, I may): I sha'n't be gone long. You come too. I'm going out to fetch the little calf That's standing by the mother. It's so young, It totters when she licks it with her tongue. I sha'n't be gone long. You come too."
Old, tidy and lovely!
ReplyDelete"The First Bank" - a bank? Really?
ReplyDeleteVery tidy indeed.
And all the deposits are in the crate? ;-)
I agree it looks more like a cottage than a bank -- I think it is someone's home today. Most of the old 'official' buildings in the town are sandstone, like this one.
