Andrew - there's a lot of civic pride in Ararat - without it being all fancified and gentrified like some country towns. It's one of the things that immediately attracted us when we accidentally moved here 3 years ago.
Sonia - We have some lovely buildings in Ararat - like most towns built on the goldrush. We recently had a big new police station built between 2 beautiful old buildings and everyone held their breath waiting for some hideous modern thing. But surprise surprise even though it is modern - it's a very sympathetic design.
What a glorious old building and beautiful garden. I love old Australian towns like this. When you drive in you just take a big breath, sigh and soak it all up. Thanks for sharing. It's food for my soul this morning. Anne xx
this is not daily(ish) Lettys, not even monthy(ish) looks like this is yearly(ish). i don't even remember what blogs i have. i forgot the long in names passwords. My main blog is nearly dead. i think i had six blogs. Many test blogs where i experiment with different templates without knowing HTML or HMTL. i have goofed on few of them. Now i realise i don't want to write, don't like posting pictures. i just want to play with them when i have nothing else to do. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Very nice, and with pretty flowers at the front. Most councils don't bother with them any more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful building and gorgeous garden!

Anne - that's exactly how I feel when I get home from my travels - driving down that main street feels so wonderful.
