Old Abandoned Cottage

Since the 1990's on my travels up to Girraween (well, up in terms of altitude) I've driven past this cottage on a farm; its been abandoned for the whold of my experience with it.


I took this with my Toho 4x5 camera and scanned with an Epson. It was clearly quite a dry year (although its starting winter).

The cottage has featured in my post on Fireplaces in Australia. I drive past there from time to time, and back in 2018 was going past with a friend who wanted to look around. This shot is from a similar  angle to the above; but you can see not quite perfectly aligned with where I thought I was standing (not having made any reference as this was an ad-hoc opportunity).


The roof was off in places back then so I knew that the end was nearing


Yesterday I was riding past (on my way south) and thought I'd shoot a quick video from the bike showing its present state from the road side. It was a bit overgrown when down beside it, so this is just what I took from up on the hill.


So, until next time
