An old town dreaming




Tarnagulla last Sunday.







A quintessential goldfields town made of bricks and local, golden stone



















Low wood and iron verandahs across the whole width of the street















Houses with weathered corrugated iron roofs and wire fences engulfed in roses. 











Grey worn wood, rusted iron back fences.












Looks like my mum's old copper ended up here.





Looking across the road.





























Then we drove off to Dunolly.

Country outside Tarnagulla




Beautiful and dry, even in spring, the silvery-grey countryside north-east of Ballarat.

Escape from Ballarat







Today I took a break from work and study and took off in a mini van with fellow members of the Sebastopol Historical Society. I'm going to make several posts of this trip, but tonight I'm posting a pub in Dunolly which I fell in love with and would like to live in.






I want to live on this top floor and have beers on this balcony and go to sleep with the wind in these palm trees late at night.





Isn't it a beauty?
