That deserves<br />a big tick of good, sensible, fresh water saving planning.<br />Thank God the US "Kilroy" doughboys (marines/soldiers) - mostly associated with WW2 graffiti didn't get a chance at the water tanks!<br />After all SA was a large training area for the US at the start of the US involvement in WW2 and not that far north of Port Augusta!!!!<br />Those water tanks for fires are far too new for them to have been there in 1942!!!<br />Intriguing to see the tree like vines entangled with the verandah poles<br />in the shopping precinct. Then the entanglement of the branches along the roofs, not too good for the roof material - I guess pruning back would be on the council workmen's duty list.<br />As for the presumption that the classical looking building is/was the Town Hall and it's present condition, probably renovations due to structural damage over the years and money has been diverted to matters more pressing<br />that the Town Hall's restoration.<br />Again if this is the case, then "kudos" for sensible council members.<br /><br />Most enlightening report on Port Augusta for your readers to carefully view and read.<br />Cheers<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918426219308228672.post-7509360256724506472016-02-23T03:17:04.560+11:002016-02-23T03:17:04.560+11:00Boa tarde, excelente fotorreportagem com belas fot...Boa tarde, excelente fotorreportagem com belas fotos com qualidade, as mesmas transmitem sossego num vida pacata. <br />AGExiste Sempre Um Lugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02253408665332331901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918426219308228672.post-10230149791624178162016-02-22T23:54:37.202+11:002016-02-22T23:54:37.202+11:00these photos are so beautiful dear especially love...these photos are so beautiful dear especially loved the post office ,you have great talent for photography bailihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06498012175058870980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918426219308228672.post-92180013356217023802016-02-22T22:06:07.171+11:002016-02-22T22:06:07.171+11:00Looks so peacefulLooks so peacefulSussihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06772970147884287676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8918426219308228672.post-69920588280131404122016-02-22T20:29:24.166+11:002016-02-22T20:29:24.166+11:00Too bad landmark buildings are allowed to deterior...Too bad landmark buildings are allowed to deteriorate.
