Sunlight penetrates the decaying interior of the shearers quarters. Dust motes dance in the still air. Peeling paint and splintered timber tell tales of forgotten lives. The building quietly returns to the land.

A low timber homestead sits against a bare hillside in rural New South Wales. Weatherboard walls have faded to a deep oxide red. Four boarded doorways run along the front elevation. Two stone chimneys rise through a corrugated iron roof, its galvanised surface now dull grey. A smaller shed of unpainted corrugated iron leans at the left. A single power pole stands behind. The grass is dry and brown all the way to the ridge. Overcast sky. No trees except one on the hilltop.
Brett Patman
The series
A Place to Call Home
A series of rural homesteads from the Snowy Monaro region of southern New South Wales, with a few from the Hunter Valley. Most were family homes left behind when a generation moved to town; others when the land could no longer be worked. The buildings are smaller than the industrial sites that anchor most of Lost Collective and tend to be older. Most are timber-framed.
