Brick Mill floral The saloon inside Western Village

The saloon inside Western Village sits as it was left when the park closed on 7 December 2006: empty bottles still on the shelves

The workshops have been in continuous industrial use since June 1964

Desks and open books sit where classrooms once ran through eight years of operation before the coal economy made them redundant

Tools lie across the dusty benches of the blacksmith workshop at Portland Cement Works

A row of brass gas taps lines a worn bench inside a science classroom at the abandoned Macquarie Boys Technology High School in Rydalmere

Brick Mill floral The saloon inside Western VillageThe four storey mill at Mill Pond Farm rises from open grassland near Braidwood, its locally manufactured brick walls sitting on a granite ground floor beneath a rust mottled gabled roof. Built in 1859 by Charles Dransfield to serve a goldfield settlement of more than 1,000 miners on Jembaicumbene Creek, it remains the most substantial building to survive from the district's gold rush era. Part of the Mill Pond Farm series.
