Photo a Day Challenge - 27.2.2017 - New.
This veranda on the Wollogorang Homestead is new, put on by the current owners in recent years.
This is how I remember Wollogorang in my youth, no Veranda, but I always knew there was one when the homestead was first built, and below is an old photo of it with the Chisholm Family.

Photo a Day Challenge - 24.2.2017 - Treasure.
These two photos are pure Treasure right now, when I go and visit my cousin Sue at the Dementia Ward up the road and show her these old photos... she knows what she's looking at immediately... 'Muscles' she says with a big smile, 'He was the best horse' and she sees me on Muscles, aged about 3 years... and says... Ahhh Penelope Jane!
How lovely is this, when she doesn't remember much else of her life anymore.
Sue on Muscles and below me on Muscles.

Photo a Day Challenge - 20.2.2017 - Books.
Such a very familiar sight for me, Great Uncle John checking the fire in the Morning Room at 'Wollogorang'. This fire would be lit on most days of the year, I remember it was the Downstairs Maid's job to clean it out each morning and set it ready for John when he came downstairs.
That's John's desk behind him and lots of his books... another very familiar sight was of John sitting at his desk with his feet up on it.
On the right hand side of this room was a long glass bookcase full of many many books, never thought to take a photo in my youth. Lucky I have this one of John which was given to me by my cousin!
