Gothic architeture
Welcome back.
We spent the weekend in Avoca Victoria.
Avoca played a major part in Victorias gold rush back in the 1850's.
Here are some pictures of the Primary School that was built by the gold.
The TV aerial is a bummer.

{Okay, now NO ONE take the mickey out of Al - he must have turned over a new leaf...this is the first seriously sensible post I've seen of his!
}
Great stuff, Al - all that just for a Primary School - amazing. It would have to be the best school building in Oz, surely! So, how was the standard of their bricklaying and the longevity of their mortar?
Cheers,
Jill

As to the bricks mortar etc, I didnt get that close.
Even though the school was closed I felt funny hanging around the school yard.

Lol, Al - I'm sure of it, too!
Oh, okay - so it wasn't 'open to the public' as such...I'm glad you still got the pics!
Cheers,

AL,
Gotta agree with you about the architeture around avoca, we went there a number of years ago, is the building still in the main street ??Last edited by Gra; 26th May 2006 at 10:28 AM.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
