Of course here in Australia, Europeans didn't arrive until 1770 and the indigenous people didn't build as they were nomadic, so we don't don't have anything so old. I'm really enjoying your posts about your new home and environs. :-)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594244181463706442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-88551539139013260042015-06-24T00:58:16.299-07:002015-06-24T00:58:16.299-07:00Oh my, what a shame as it has so much history...lo...Oh my, what a shame as it has so much history...lovely photos of the remains....the poem is lovely...,but sad..Margaret Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14074619859060647600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-78530953915810974312015-06-24T00:01:15.452-07:002015-06-24T00:01:15.452-07:00What a beautiful place, such a shame its been left...What a beautiful place, such a shame its been left to go to ruin.
