Description

The Mount Warning Hotel, in the little village of Uki just south of the Queensland state border.
I like to look back in history, and I took this image on the 23rd of July, 2005.
This is a wonderful old building, built over 100 years ago, out of local cedar. Then on the 24th of February 2013, the building caught fire in the night and burned to the ground.
There is a new hotel there now.


Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 10/4000 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 64, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 5.90 mm, Model: C730UZ
