A few weeks back whilst out on a Sunday drive, I had to do a double take when passing Slater Homestead in Goomalling. In years gone by it was home to the Slater Family and also a wayside inn from 1888 for pioneers and travellers. It is now a museum and tea room and has recently been renovated while still keeping it's old charm. Sitting out side overlooking a paddock was an old piano. You never know what you are going to see along the roadsides out here. This on it's own was worth stopping for a photo but we ended up having a cup of tea and scone after looking through the old house.
The old barn (below) is now a popular function centre

Hello Linley, I love the old piano, it reminds me of my grandmother's piano. What a cute place! The tea house, the barn and I love that cute sheep. Wonderful post and great fence photos. Have a happy day and weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I'd pull over and stop there too. Incredible fun, and a chance to play the piano too. I really like that fencing over the bridge, how cute is that!

ReplyDeleteI would have stopped to upon seeing that Piano sitting out in the open like that. This sounds like a neat place to visit. I really liked the railing over that little ditch in the 4th shot. Also that cute sheep decoration. So glad you stopped and shared this fun place.
