D7100/Sigma 17-50mm.
Brushgrove is a tiny village on the banks of the Clarence River. It was developed in the mid 1800's as a paddle boat freight port. It was a thriving town in the 'old days', but since the demise of the mighty river boats many years ago, it is now a small hamlet. It is a dairy farming area, but most of the working population drive to the nearby city of Grafton for work.
There are several original buildings still standing & most are heritage listed. The first two buildings were built around 1860-1870. Please feel free to download.

What a great old building. Where exactly is Brushgrove? Don't think we've been through there.

Hi Jude. It's on the highway, south of Maclean (between Maclean & Ulmarra), If you blinked on the way through, you would have missed it. Earl.

Love the history given with the photo's, always nice to know a bit more of what one is viewing. I really like the mural on the last one!

Dook, did you ever do an isolation shot of the artwork on #3? Looks extremely interesting! Love 'em all!

Ditto Rena's comment, and I wish we took care of our old buildings that well.
