Colebrook was established as a convict probation station in 1834, and a significant number of Irish former convicts settled in the area. Naturally enough their religion was Roman Catholic.
Colebrook sits in the Coal River Valley, now becoming quite well known for its vineyards. Like most rural towns it has shrunk in size down through the 20th century. But its biggest claim to fame is the wonderful St Patrick's Church, designed by Augustus Pugin (1812-1852).
Pugin is regarded as the greatest architect in England during the Victorian era, and was almost single-handedly responsible for the Gothic Revival. St Patrick's in Colebrook is one of only three churches in Tasmania that Pugin designed in his short life. The other two are St Paul's in Oatlands and the addition and steeple for St John's in Richmond.

Happy New Year everyone!
Its been a while since I've been on Flickr, hoping everyone out there is doing well.
We've just returned from a few days camping in The Grampians in Western Victoria. It was my first trip there as an adult and I was quite blown away by the incredible escarpment and rock formations. The area is surrounded by farm land which at this time of the year is very dry, with km after km of golden hay and wheat crops so it was rather a surprise to see this stand of agapanthas tucked in under the gums along the verge with not a homestead in sight. I had to overcome my fear of encountering a snake to wade in amongst the tall grasses to get this image - a 17 stich pano. Possibly overkill :))
I shall do my best to visit your streams over the coming days.
As I was taking the photo, a duck decided to land in the water, which was an extra point of interest for the photo.

The Brockhampton Estate is a The Brockhampton Estate is a National Trust property in Herefordshire, England, and is to the north of the A44 Bromyard to Worcester road, opposite the northern edge of Bringsty Common and east from the town of Bromyard.
Brockhampton is a special place with a rather olde-world feel about it. Little has changed here over the centuries, you could call it a hidden gem, nestled deep into the Herefordshire countryside.
In the eighteenth century, the manor house was abandoned by the family, in favour of a new-build red brick mansion on the estate. Lower Brockhampton Manor was tenanted out to farmworkers which meant little was changed or altered, leaving us with a rare survival of a medieval house. Today, visitors can explore the manor house and discover each room reflects a different era in Brockhampton’s history, from the medieval Great Hall to a nostalgic 1950s parlour.
In the surrounding countryside, local and rare breed sheep graze amongst apple orchards, stone farm buildings nestle into the hillsides and the quiet drone of tractors complete this quiet and beautiful place. One of the annual highlights here is the spring blossom which coats the boughs of the elderly fruit trees, clouding the manor house with a floral frame. Throughout autumn, visitors are welcome to come and pick fruit here.
Nature-lovers will be in their element at Brockhampton which is rich in wildlife and hosts many habitats for different mammals, reptiles and birds. Several way-marked routes run through the estate, exploring dingles, woodlands and pools, offering many opportunities to stop and reconnect with nature.

Thank you very much my dear friends.
Designed by Chief Engineer Murdoch Paterson and built by the Highland railway the impressive 29 arches of the Culloden viaduct that stretch over the valley and River Nairn really is a great sight to see. Opened in 1889 and still used today as the main rail link into the Highlands, it is the longest masonry viaduct in Scotland at 1800ft (549m) long and is a Category A listed building.
You will find the viaduct situated roughly 6 miles East of Inverness close to Clava although you will spot it miles before you get to it! The imposing structure built in sandstone is also known as the Nairn viaduct, the 100ft wide central arch reaches across the River with 14 arches on either side all 50 ft wide.
You are able to drive under the viaduct although please note there is not a lot of parking in the area and the roads are narrow.
While the Guilin region is known for being a hot tourist destination for travellers from around the world, it is also well-known for the agriculture of the region.
The water buffalo is the most important farm animal for these farmers and you can see them working in the field and rice paddies as you explore the lush countryside. The water buffalo is used to till the field and well as a beast of burden. These docile animals graze contentedly along the paths and roads and bath in the waters of the many creeks and steams.

Hard to believe that this place has been abandoned and in bad shape for over 10 years. Gorgeous place.
Thank you to everybody that views, comments and for favouring my images. Always greatly appreciated.
Hey Look....Not something abandoned. Taken this weekend while out and about. The lupins are everywhere here in June, and this old barn made the perfect backdrop from them.

We are continuing with our rural scenes series. These have been inspired by the first and second generation of Australian colonial artists. Naturally I can't reproduce their scenes, and I am certainly no painter. But I have tried to absorb as much as I can of their compositional sense and colour palette.
Obviously the colonial painters didn't have paved roads or power lines. But let's imagine what they'd do with them if they did.
Here we see a new planting of vines at White Hills in northern Tasmania. This vineyard is now owned by Australia's most iconic name in wine, Penfolds.
