Colac Shed Size:M one of the smaller structures

one of the smaller structures in the series: a slab-and-iron vernacular form that once kept out a Monaro wind or a Hunter winter with equal indifference

It closed on 28 March 2010 and sat untouched for years

in its final years

from 1884 until the last clinical services wound down through the 1990s

and depth charges across 102 years of naval operations

Colac Shed Size:M one of the smaller structuresCorrugated iron walls and a collapsing roofline define this derelict farm shed, rust bleeding across mismatched sheets in broad patches. Timber fence rails run along the front, a cypress standing behind. Structures like this were the working heart of smaller pastoral holdings across NSW and Victoria, now largely silent since station consolidation reduced the sheep numbers that once kept them busy. Part of The Woolshed series.
