Don't Change

I hope Ararat never gets fancified.
I love all its make-do fences and corrugated iron sheds and dirt streets.

Awww - Ain't That Purdy?

I'm so glad I live around here.
It's just sooooo purdy
(and a little bit skewiff by the look of things).

Tin Town

Country Australia would never have been built without corrugated iron!
Water tanks, fences, shearing sheds - even houses.

I wonder what those numbers mean??
The 70th of March, 1986??

Click Go The Shears

We are in sheep country (formerly gold country).
These shearing sheds are dotted all around the outskirts of Ararat.
Good thing shearing season isn't in the middle of Summer.
Can you imagine how hot it would be in one of those metal boxes at 40 degrees (106F)?
And how smelly?
And how many flies?
Errr - shudder.
