Millthorpe's population is around 700 people. The lady at the tea rooms said the town's wealth comes from people working in a nearby gold mine. Also, according to her, as the Blue Mountains have become more populated people seeking small town life are moving further west. I understand the appeal.
I love the rocking horse tucked in right at the bottom of the beautiful blue hydrangeas.
ReplyDeleteAh yes - the appeal hits the heart instantly. And the depth of colour of those hydrangeas.
ReplyDeleteI love any town that does not blush having a rocking-horse like that outside and "antiques" shop.
Blue hydrangeas are one of my wife's favourite flowers.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely photo! Brick walls, blue flowers and even the rocking horse stay perfectly together.
ReplyDeleteAren't they absolutely magnificent?
