...Held all food provisions brought out from England for the estate. Windows were barred for security and many items were stored for later use such as vinegar, salt, fabric, leather, etc.

A glimpse of the store was shown here.It is now used as an office and gift shop.

The structure on the roof is the water tank mentioned in the notes on the 'Pumphouse'.

Woolmers Estate was settled in circa 1817 by Thomas Archer the 1st. It has existed through six generations of Archers, until the death of Thomas William the 6th in 1994.

I don't want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.

Thanks David, I have seen photos of this before but none ever had a note as to what it was. That it was early Tassie history was obvious but now, wooopee, I can see it now and know what the darn building is. At least down there they built genuine buildings, the old Queenslanders are 95% single skin of t&g timber, cheap to put up in a hurry and high set for ventilation,high ceilings and wrap round verandahs to keep summer sun out but allow it in in winter but cold winters? I think they got built so fast people had not had a winter to see how cold it gets.
Thank you for all your painless history lessons.

Hi Dave,

Great natural lighting & POV! The tight crop is perfect creating strong lead-in lines with the path.

Well seen & composed!

Hi David,
This is a very beautiful architecture. I enjoy seeing all these great place of Tasmania under your eye, It probably one of the places I would to visit one day, but it's so far away. I like your POV with the angle of the building and the small road that is framing it while leading us to it. Very well done.

The big diferences between Oz's and NZ's old building are that NZ's are mostly made of wood. Even now, we build many timber houses, whereas Oz has too many fires throughout the land and they build with brick and stone.
Very well displayed here david, nice and sharp, and the sun shines well on it. TFS

Hello David,
a very nice heritage building, and so well captured. Great POV and very nice lighting. Nice sharpness and the colors are wonderful.
TFS..Sky

Hello David, a nice follow up on the other photo. Nicely captured with good control of the sun on the walls.

Lovely blue sky! Good composition and pov.

Have a great day! Yan :)

ps: many thx for your crit on "Queen Mary Meets Frontenac". The reason for doing my frame in Photoshop is because it is already programmed in an action I created. But first I saved it in .psd file in PSP for no loss format at that point in time :)

stunning image david, lovely old building

BEautiful old store DAvid! It's amazing for me to see a house, just the house, no yard landscaping, no flowers plants around the house. Here in America, the YARD is more important than the house! HAHA!

Hi David,
This is a great photo of a marvelous old building, the deep contrast and colors really have added a 3-d effect to the photo, there is so much depth to the image. Great colors and pov, thanks for sharing,
Fran
