Historic Hartley Village

I took a day trip with my camera on Saturday in the central west of NSW and stopped briefly at the historic village of Hartley. It's almost a ghost town with the old buildings preserved by the National Parks department of NSW.

I like the shot of Corney's Garage. The little sign off to the lower left "A MOMENT IN TIME". That is for sure.

When I see a bit of historic Australia I'm reminded of Slim Dusty song, "We've Done us Proud". Somehow that garage picture brought a tear.

All very nice images Pete. I love the wide crop of the courthouse - suits it very well.

Thanks Charles. Yes, I do love an old garage. This one was all locked up. I would have loved to see some old equipment and fuel pumps.

Now that's a song I've not hear - just YouTubed it. Slim is a classic!

Thanks Paul. That 65x24 crop is fun to use. I've been taking inspiration from your photos.
