Rankin Springs, NSW
First up;
The Conapaira Hotel in the middle of town -- Faced with the prospect of a town with no beer, residents in several regional New South Wales towns have banded together to buy their local pub. Increasingly, it is locals who are buying in, to preserve their town's only meeting place. The Conapaira Hotel is one such case, in the Southern NSW town of Rankins Springs. Its only pub closed 18 months ago, prompting locals to buy in. "It meant everything to the town, it was a meeting place for everyone to gather," new owner Stuart Vearing said."You didn't see anyone if the pub was shut. It was a very lonely place in Rankins Springs."
Secondly;
The unusual scalloped shape of the concrete silo (Type A191 ~ 19,100 tonnes capacity) built in 1964 on the Bardmedman to Rankins Springs rail line; just on the outskirts of town, but it looks to be serving the locals well though.
