Hi Norm
I think that you better steer clear of the desert, what else are you going to break out there......LOL
It now makes one wonder on the weather conditions out there and if it is related to the 7mmillers
shack destruction. I know of a first rate stone mason here in the
Clare Valley. He could bring it back to its former glory. Peter does a lot of work for the National Parks here in SA, restoring many of the fine stone buildings
Take care.
Cheers
Stephen

Gday Stephen,
my photo was from August 2003, and had more stone on top than yours, which I guess was last year. Suggests it may have been slowly falling down!

Hi Phil
Yes it was taken last August. It seems unreal that 2 icons on the
Lake Rason Road have been lost in such a short time. Like I said above, a chap from Auburn could get that looking good again, but that's another story.
Take Care.
Regards
Stephen

Hi Norm
That is unreal. Thanks for again letting us know of another piece of history that has succumbed to nature.
Also thanks again for the update on the 7mmillers
Shack out on
Lake Rason.
Cheers
Stephen
