Signs of past glory: the beautiful leadlight window of the pharmacy - Nhill VIC

Signs of past glory: half of the signs of past glory: shops in Nhill are empty; to stop it looking dismal, the local associations are encouraged to fill a shop window with items about their organisation. There was a "shop" for the Scouts, the Lions Club, the Freemasons and probably others further on. It worked well I thought; not just one less empty, fly blown window, but a way to show the town is still alive and kicking with organisations, even if not with businesses. Go Nhill!

there is a substantial community of Karen people (Burma/Thailand) in the Nhill area and they have their own grocery store

"... he believed Nhill to be the only place in the colony dependent on an underground water supply pumped from a well" - always was, still is! Nhill VIC

What I learned in Nhill - they get ALL their water - for drinking, household use, livestock and irrigation - from underground aquifers. It's not necessary to treat it, either. Nhill VIC

Signs of past glory: lovely post office building, unusually still being used as a post office - Nhill VIC

Signs of past glory: there were three BIG hotels like this on one corner. Nhill VIC

the not-as-impressive-as-the-facade rear car park of the Union Hotel, Nhill VIC. But a nice gate sign all the same! They must have forgotten we were the only ones staying, as everything was locked up in the morning and we had to more or less break out of there

curious window hatch at the Union Hotel in Nhill VIC. I'm hoping it's not what it looks like...
