Gothic Schoolhouse

As I walked up to this old schoolhouse a man was working in the garden. We got talking and it turns out he was a Queenslander who bought this old school at auction not long after it was closed in 1999. He and his wife had come over for their usual summer holidays, and after the border closures were declared found themselves spending the whole winter here as well. He kindly let me look around and take this photograph.

I think I found the perfect spot for my composition. As soon as I saw this I thought of Emily Brontë's great novel "Wuthering Heights". All that gothic sensibility on the Yorkshire moors. The tree, the Victorian building and the light just made a black and white the logical choice.

This schoolhouse was built between 1875 and 1877, and it was the first state school in the area. We have already seen the earlier St John's School. It was put up for sale after being closed in 1999 because of low enrolments. www.visitross.com.au/interactive-map-of-ross/
