History

We have a bit of a historic precinct at work. Armadale was settled sometime round the mid to late 1800s. Some of the old buildings had been salvaged and were relocated in the 1980s to Minnawarra Park. The one in the photo is the side view of the old Church. Its still used for weddings today, although I tend to see more people getting married under the gazebo near the lake. They also relocated the old primary school which is just behind the large bush to the right of the photo. Both buildings were originally built around 1900, just a couple of streets away, and were scheduled for demolition in the 1980s, before a committee of residents banded together to save and relocate the buildings. The old school is where the Rangers hang out now, so the building is still in use. Cant blow the pavement there after 9am, as it interrupts phone calls, and that tends to peeve the rangers off a bit. Turns out old walls are not very good at keeping noise out. This is one of the more prettier areas at work, and when the sun isnt beating down on me, its quite a nice place to potter around in the garden.
