Oatlands



Scenery along the way from Kempton to Oatlands,
countryside is looking for tinder dry
 


Cantwell's store 1840


The Manse 1860


Love this topiary


Council chambers/Town hall


Roche hall 1886, last time we were here this building had a big memorial arch out the front, has been dismantled & hopefully being rebuilt outside the old gaol
 
 
 
 


Original Oatlands  hotel 1861


This unusual tree trunk is in the kids playground
 


Callington mill


This is home for the night, Oatlands is RV friendly & there are 12 vans/caravans spending the night here in the old sale yards.  Only closed in 1988, when in operation it could hold 7,000 sheep & 450 cattle at the one time


Old top off the mill, looks like a spire off a Russian orthodox church


Lake Dulverton & campers


Campsite with mill in background
