[@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide]

Yes it must’ve been a thriving business at some point in time, there used to be a rail siding there but that’s gone, most farms have been bought and merged with others so the area outgrew the need for a shop I assume and then it went down hill from there. Still very saveable with time effort and money though..

Great memories ad I'm sure the one in the vid could be behind quite a few great yarns.
