A two-storey brick and bluestone building stands alone in open grassland. The ground floor is rough-cut stone, load-bearing walls thick enough to support heavy machinery. Red brick rises above, faded and uneven in colour, six narrow windows on the long face. The gable end shows a decorative timber fretwork panel beneath the ridge. Dry grass and yellow wildflowers press against the base. A single wind-shaped tree leans behind the structure. Grey cloud sits low and heavy overhead.

The series
Mill Pond Farm
Mill Pond Farm sits in Jembaicumbene, near Braidwood, on land first worked as the region's earliest dairy in the 1830s. In 1859 a Yorkshire-born goldminer named Charles Dransfield built a four-storey Steam Flour Mill on the property, designed by Sydney architect Charles Langley. A 24-horsepower steam engine ground wheat, sawed timber, and crushed quartz to extract gold. The mill ran until 1885, when the railway arriving in Tarago undercut local flour prices, the financial depression hit, and repeated wheat rust outbreaks finished the run. The mill, stables, and dairy buildings sat unworked for nearly a century. Restoration is in progress.
