the tall grass beneath uncut

molten sparks cascading in every direction

layers of newspaper pressed into the surface as draught insulation against the Southern Tablelands winters

The building operated as the local post office and postmaster's residence from 1 November 1869 until 1945, serving a small Southern Tablelands settlement established fifty years before the post office ever opened. Part of the Big Hill Post Office series.
