Some photos from the remains of the complete village of Hampton. House and sheds all built from stone as well as the stone garden fences. Even remains of the old longdrop toilet.

Hard to imagine that people lived here so long ago.

From the old police stables and lockup. Couldn’t get into the old cells.

Maggie even checked out the convicts longdrop. 🤣

The old Redruth Jail was quite interesting. A complete evil place. In it’s later years it was a girls reformatory.

The dogs enjoyed the walk through it and even had a run in the convicts exercise yard.

Read the exerts from the doctors journal.

Check out the old camp ovens in the kitchen photo.

I tried to capture some of the beauty inside the Saint Marys’s Anglican Church built in the mid 1800’s.

Lighting was not good. We loved the lead light panels and the old pipe organ.

They still hold a worship service there every Sunday.

These miners dugouts really threw me. Hard to believe that families actually lived in these. Only a few preserved ones remain, some with chimneys.

Really had to see this to believe it.

Read the info in first photo

I put some photos up the other day of the railway station. This time we were able to go inside the station as well as the old dining car.

This dining car was originally used on the Nullarbor Rail Crossing.

This is but one row of housing that is actually a square. The one we were allowed to visit has been maintained as it was, complete with earth floor. The rest have been done up as holiday accommodation and can be rented even for an overnighter.

Note the camp oven at the fireplace.

This small museum shop was once a tailer shop. Some interesting things in there.

The quilt on the bed is made of red roo skins.
