While I've posted the rail and cemetery images from the goldfields of central Victoria, I'd put off a series of the other images until now.

Nice set, i-Berg. Surely a place in decay.

Exposure and focus spot on. We have a brand called Regal in Norway, may be a descedent .
The (almost) duo-tone from Main Street appeals. (At least it has a decent Yale lock).
I like the dreamy impression of the last one.
Best regards

What a great place, I-Berg. I'd love to spend some time there!

I love the mistiness of the last one and that great faded mural in the first. Very evocative.
Best wishes,

Andrew

Thanks for the kind comments all. The house at No. 72 was still inhabited, BTW.
