A timber ladder leans against the gable wall, its rungs cracked and splintered. The wall is rough-rendered brick, pale and dusty. Two six-pane windows sit symmetrically either side, their frames painted a faded red-brown. Green paddock light spills through the glass and falls across bare hardwood floorboards. Exposed roof trusses and corrugated sheeting rise to a sharp pitch above. The room is empty. The air feels still and dry.

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.
