Love little towns, they are interesting. Interesting to see the two borders at least they have two signs. Nice photos.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity the small towns are not doing so well. In Cockburn there are only about 7 people there now and they all run the local pub on a volunteer basis and the caravan park too. We like to support these little towns so we stayed in the caravan park and had a meal at the hotel for $15 pp and it was a nice homecooked meal.
ReplyDeleteWish everyone would try and support these little towns - I'm with you on that one.
DeleteGosh they do a wonderful job those 7 people then.
Sad to see the small towns fad away our time. Love your pictures.
ReplyDeleteSosad to see the small towns fad away over time. Love you pictures of the areas.
ReplyDeleteYes, there are a lot of small towns here that are smaller than they used to be, but a lot of them are surviving too. I will be posting more soon. Thanks for your comments.
