Decided to go for a drive in our latest's plaything - an MG 2003 TF. Had the iPhone in the car playing Spotify via bluetooth - Modern cars do have benefits.
I discovered a few new roads in Trentham and some interesting architecture. You never get tired of the surroundings in the Central Highlands.
Next Sunday we are off to a classic car show which is our "Pebble Beach". All the state car club will have their cars on display. We'll bring you some of the finest examples next post.

| Lisieux until recent times was a B&B but now is a family home. I pass by this property on my morning rides. 1849 dates this property before the gold rush era of Victoria. |

| Once a church in Fernhill, today it is a private home. Every St Patrick's day there is a march from here to the Pig and Whistle pub just up the road at East Treantham. Naturally its an Irish pub with Guinness on tap. |

| I have no idea of this corrugated iron house in East Trentham but once I know, I'll let you know. |
 |
| Again in East Trentham is this small timber hut. I imagine it was one of the many potato grower's huts that seem to expose themselves when you just happen to take notice. |
Mmmmm like the car :-) Interesting virtual drive with you. I somehow cannot imagine living in a church conversion but I have watched some great conversions on TV.
ReplyDeleteHope you are both well Diane
There are actually several church conversions in our district - maybe more interest in holiday homes than religion!!!
DeleteBeautiful car.. I love the pictures, specially of the old times ..
ReplyDeleteYes Krishna, the car is fun and Sue & I enjoy the country drives in the area. On good days only.
DeleteGreat idea for St Patrick's Day holiday - from the more spiritual to the less spiritual, on foot :)
ReplyDeleteAND, St Patrick's day will be celebrated soon at our Pig and Whistle Pub which sits on the crossroads in the middle of country paddocks in East Trentham.
