Nothing much has changed, as it shouldn't. The Machinist and I enjoyed our time there and had a good chat with a lady who was making butter.
 |
| Communication back then.... |
 |
| Post Office display |
 |
| An old "copper" |
 |
| Laundering utensils displayed on the back deck |
 |
| "The Laundry" |
 |
| The tea table (and everything else) |
 |
| Frock and apron |
 |
| I always wonder about the display dressers of old. Did the homemaker have regular-use dishes and plates, or did she wash and dry after each use, returning them for display? |
 |
| Cosy in winter. Extremely hot in summer. |
 |
| Where's the family? |
 |
| A sideboard for the "pretties" |
 |
| Another dresser for the lesser used items. |
 |
| Activity corner! |
 |
| The parents bedroom. See the ghost in the picture glass reflection? |
 |
| Lots of sewing and darning to be done. |
 |
| A Child's pram. I wonder if mama had her special set of straps to keep the child in. |
 |
| Recreation and entertainment |
 |
| Boots and shoes. Such personal items. See how they've been shaped to each individual's feet? |
 |
| Farmworker Huts |
 |
| Inside the hut. Brrrr.... feel the winter breeze? And in the summer? Oh my - what could creep in? Answer: Snakes! |
