Dunlop Shed

On the drive between Cowra & Bathurst, just near the little village of Lyndhurst, is the old Dunlop shed. I've been driving past this shed since 1981 - watching it's slow decay with the passing of time.

I wish I had stopped more often to take a picture over the years.
It was fascinating to see how each letter fell off one at a time.

  1. What a great series of photos Brona! I rarely drive that road, so haven't seen it, and indeed it's not particularly recognisable now.

    1. The Dunlop shed was always a landmark when we were kids. It felt like the outer boundary of the shire - the point of no return!

  2. Isn't it funny how we mean to document something like that and then we don't. I like this a lot, Brona. My snap shot has a similar theme. http://brokencookiesdontcount.com/2014/11/01/saturday-snapshotnovember-1/ Thanks for sharing this.

  3. I like how you documented it bit at least. Hindsight is 20/20! Makes us remember to take more photos.

  4. Wonderful series! And what a great example of how we pass things by and don't often notice them....but you have noticed and commemorated them. Great idea!

    Reminds me of an old vintage 7-up sign on the road to my foothill home that fell into more and more of a state of dishevelment with time...and then one day it was gone!

    Here's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT POST

  5. Wow! A real sense of decay and abandonment.

  6. Your pictures definitely tell a story. Now I'm going to keep my eyes open for similar situations around me.

  9. Been driving past the Dunlop Hay Shed years .. for what ever reason it means lots to me .. I travel the central west in my service roll.. however nothing comes close to this iconic spot .. I was told Cowra Homewood motors has a great picture.. I will drop in and check.. I sent a link to a YouTube video I took 8 years ago .. I used my built Drone to do this .. also a little unknown fact: A two part episode of inspector Morse was shot with him and Lewis having a cup of tea at the Dunlop shed .. have a look.. also the 2 episodes were taken around Cootamondra..
