Description

This old building was built as a private residence back in the 1840’s, but it was converted to an Inn during the gold rush of the 1960’s. After the gold ran out it was converted back to a private residence. Our National Parks and Wildlife Service claim to have stabilised this building!
Another one from my sunrise shoots from Lithgow.
