Using the theme “Story” and one of Kim Klassen’s textures for Tuesday Texture I have chosen Traeger’s Farm at Hamilton, South Australia as the basis of my story. My husband worked here as a young teenager 50 years ago. Three years ago we took a drive through the area and were able to drive onto the property. These are the ruins of the milking sheds. The construction of the sheds is typical rural Australia, were local stones from the paddocks were used for the walls, the beams and struts are from local trees and the roof was thatched.
