"THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLONIAL SCHOOL DROPS " (140 YEAR SPAN) Updated

Hi all,Got up early today and headed for the local site at Garden Gully.On the hill on the Northern end is a school which dates back to 1863.The school has not been used since 1993 but is a private employment agency now.the existing buliding dates back to 1880s but there was a first school here before that and the ruins can been seen in one of the pics.The other side of the hill was a Gold Claim owned by the Stanfeild and Jackson Mining Company.The area was mined until 1953.The school hall which is a wooden structure was used by the locals for many different purposes.Community groups and clubs and returned service men and what ever else.Heepa of pic and finds .later today i will going back for some more huntings

Glad you got rid of that virus that was
eating the sides of your photos
