The old Wandin East Primary School (1916-1991)

Jeff Kennett's school closures in the early nineties put that one on the market. I remember because Silvan South Primary School, at the bottom of Link Rd, was also sold. Buildings and 5 acres of the best red soil you'll ever see went for $189k, a bloody bargain even then.

Just started upping 4gig of pics manually to the new server before cutting across.

?? Never knew there was another school there...and the soil sure is red around there, so red... it's rusty!:)
There's a lot of little sites around that used to be this-or-that, from various, small churches/ chapels of the local Italians, Dutch, Greek, Hungarians etc. to community halls, overgrown tennis courts from the 20s+30s, outdoors chess courts, a Russian distillery out the back of Yellingbo, the leftovers of a substantial former Clydesdale stud that bred horses for the timber railways of the Warby/ Noojee/ Woods Point areas... and all sorts of other stuff.
The more I dig, the better it gets. :drool:
