A Do-er-upper!
Not far on from the Pink lake at Port Gregory was a little place called Lynton, where a convict depot was built from 1853 -1856. We walked up the steep hill to have a look at the ruins of the once stately residence, Sanford's House, originally inhabited by Captain Henry Sanford, the Superintendent of the depot. I fell in love with the house and wished it had been restored, because we could only look through the windows. The views from the balcony were glorious!

That tree could tell a whole story couldn't it?!...Or inspire a poem! :-]
ReplyDeleteOooo the stories that place could tell would be heartbreaking Wendy! It reminds me of The Orphan School where my tiny, great great granny had been in Tasmania, I felt really sick when I was there standing where she had somehow survived.
