We came to Boggabilla NSW and it's a far north inland town in New South Wales. People about 550.
The Pub was for sales a few years ago, obviously someone bought it and turned it into the Wobbly Boot Hotel that also sells pizzas.
We arrived in Narrabri NSW and stayed a few nights giving us time to have a good look around.
The photos are of the main street on a Sunday and some of the buildings.
The town looks like it would on a week day with Covid-19.
Sunday must be a day to stay home. Lovely photos of the town, it does seem like the towns today with the virus.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day.
We found this in many country towns, they stay home on Sundays.
DeleteThat does look pretty deserted.
ReplyDeleteCovid-19 wasn't around in winter last year, and soon as I saw the photos to put on the blog it just reminded me of the streets in some photos I've seen from around the world during this period now.
DeleteTodo está muy tranquilo y no se ve nadie en la calle, ni tan siquier algún coche que circule por ella.
ReplyDeletebesos
The people of the town do stay home on Sundays it seems..
DeleteIt looks so isolated.
ReplyDeleteSure does, I remember I had a great time going around taking photos without cars in front of buildings.
DeleteIlove the architecture looks interesting
ReplyDeleteDifferent from your country from what I've seen of photos.
DeleteQuintessential country town. Love those wide streets and the post office and the pub have been replicated in many a country town. I am glad the pub has been revised and continues to serve the community too.
ReplyDeleteSome streets are very wide in these country towns, they provide angle parking on both sides of some streets then there is a flower strip up the middle plus a lane of traffic either side of the strip, so yes they are wide in some towns.
DeleteThere are some substantial and important buildings in the town.
ReplyDeleteThere are and a bank if one of them.
DeleteRemember one country town didn't have a bank and we had to drive back 40km to a bank some years ago now. If we had known we would have stopped on the way through, so 80 km to go to the bank round trip.
Se ve muy tranquilo, pero me gusta. Besitos.
ReplyDeleteWas very quiet and good to walk around because there wasn't anyone in the way.
DeleteI love the style of the old country pubs...unique in their uniqueness. :)
ReplyDeleteThey are really lovely and have lots of character these old Australian Pubs.
DeleteOh yes, and many a story to tell.
Such lovely photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo-Anne.
DeleteThere are some lovely old buildings in country towns.
ReplyDeleteCertainly there is, lets hope they remain looked after in the future.
DeleteMost of the small timber and farm towns in our state have lost a large of amount of population, and most of them don't have the commerce or facilities they had 70 or 80 years ago. It looks like this town is still healthy in spite of it being Sunday. Nice post!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bill. There are many smallish towns that do well here, distance might have something to do with it between towns. Many young ones go to the cities but some return.
DeleteSuch Colorfully Beautiful Buildings - Puts A Little Pep In Your Step - Have A Wonderful Weekend
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thanks :)
DeleteI am not surprised that you have had very little problem from the virus - as you mention it does look like lockdown does today for most of us, but some of the buildings do have really interesting architectural features.
ReplyDeleteWe are lucky I guess here in the Island, easier to close out borders plus we have a sensible Premier.
DeleteThese buildings are lovely! Very nice images. I dropped in from Gosia's fence post today. Enjoyed your blog very much and I am now following.
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving a comment :)
DeleteThe town seems lovely! Stay safe and healthy everyone ☺
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalia.
DeleteBuena serie de imagenes, con las calles de la ciudad desiertas
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteNice and very quiet place. Beautiful buildings.
ReplyDeleteThey are Nancy.
DeleteTake care.
Was there nobody around, scary.
ReplyDeleteHardly a soul as it was a Sunday, and in many country towns all shops close, might find one or two open.
DeleteI love the shape of this former pub building. Beautiful design seen. But why is it quiet?
ReplyDeleteThe reason it's quiet because it was a Sunday, in country towns many of the shops are closed on a Sunday :)
Delete❤️
ReplyDelete👌
DeleteNice to see these buildings - it does look a quiet place.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It was very quiet being a Sunday in the country.
Deletebeautiful buildings dear Margaret
ReplyDeletepub turn into hotel sounds good idea :)

In country towns the shops are usually closed on a Sunday.
