It is a Mediterranean style home (except for the portico entrance) built in the 1920s so interior is arts and craft. Unfortunately they would not let me photograph inside. It has been furnished in the 1920-30s period.
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.

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."

Now I didn't expect a house in that style since the WA house was a bush cottage.
ReplyDeleteActually it was a bit of a disappointment to me. I was expecting something more like what you described in WA but I guess that was a bit much in such an urbanised area.
