Greenough

Still not sure how to pronounce this one...Grenoff seems to be the way it sounds.

An historic little village south of Geraldton was worth a visit. The village is classified by the National Trust, and we had a bit of fun as we toured the old building. We even recognised the storage unit in one of the old houses. We both recall similar 'cupboards' from our younger days. They were cheap, and they did the job. Beth also found a place and a room that she was familiar with! So did I!

The old police station and courthouse still has its uses - but the facilities out the back were not really up to standard. I wonder how many policemen came here to relieve the regular coppers?
This one was a two-holer, but only had one door. Privacy may be an issue today, but it wasn't such a big deal back then I suppose. Maybe it was just that the women were not in the vicinity of the police post, courthouse and jail as often.



Along the coast there is a fair amount of wind, and some of the trees provide evidence of just how much. Glad I don't have to stand outside all day in this environment.


In case you were wondering the pictures were posed, all of them! Yes really! Yes they were - just ask the photographer!
