The old dairy.
The other day I mentioned that many dairy farmers had packed it in over recent years and walked away from their farms because of unrelenting cost and climate pressures on their industry. My Brisbane based flickr friend sccart who I believe hails from the Northern Rivers area mentioned that like their Queensland brethren to the north, quite a large number of those in the Northern Rivers had also shut up shop. We came across this old dairy beside the Maclean to Grafton back road which was obviously amongst the victims and probably just harbouring red-bellied black snakes with the sound of gentle mooing now just a memory.
