      This is Holbrook NSW.
      The Woolpack Inn Museum was a pub back in the day ..... and Grimwood's store is a replica of the first store in Holbrook. For 23 years the community craft shop operated out of there but they have now moved into one of the front rooms at the museum. Lady Gail's Bookshop and Curios (main shop further along the street) has accumulated so much stuff that she has now spread her wares into Grimwood's Store.
      To my immediate left (opposite Grimwood's) is the National Museum of Australian Pottery ..... an amazing place to visit - but no cameras are allowed.
      A little further along to the left what was originally a bank, then a chinese restaurant has now become an 'online arms dealer' business - no shop front only online business. I guess he keeps the arms in the old bank safe.
      Holbrook also has the HMAS Otway submarine (above the water line section) and a submarine museum. There is also the airpark 4klms out of town frequented by ultralight enthusiasts and this is also where the blimp spends an overnight stay when travelling between Sydney and Melbourne.
      We have lived here for 28 years.

    Replace those two modern cars with T Model Fords and you'd have an image from the history books.

    So yeah, where is this place? Great image.

    As Mick suggested, but I cropped the other car out and removed the power line on top.

      You're very welcome Barb. It always a joy to do this PP. Glad you like - sorry for dripping my coffee on it though

    Very cool Isac 😀 I should have removed that top wire in the original.
