Entering Greendale from southeast this is to the right and cemetery to left
 

Greendale  is an old gold mining town - Cemetery and new farmhouses

Up  the road to the cemetery  is this remnant of a church.

October 19, 2004 "Australian " says :
"Greendale has a population of about 1000 people, the pub and an unfinished church started by a
local lay preacher and bushranger before he was hanged."

The view f rom the pub- looking down the road south -west to Ballan - " town" centre -
it goes north to Blackwood

Opposite the pub -old house - newly painted silver roof. house.
The road at the left of this house is gravel and rough - for 4wd in summer too I think.
At town center is  a new roundabout, old pub and this house and trees.

Greendale original pub

The pub is on the edge of another willow lined creek with a shady outdoor table.
 

Out of town after many many back roads travelled we found this place below
- dont go up the dirt road opposite pub door, past the football field unless you have a 4 wheel drive as the ruts are deep!

A house hidden from view on a small back road near Greendale- age indeterminate- style unusual.

With telescopic lens we could see all this from the road.

the view up the drive showed a weather cock on this  little house which is in front of a newly
painted silver tin roof farm house

Also noted one most unusual farm shed  that looked rather new.

Facade of rocks on shed
All these unusual farm photos were taken from the road near the gate  you see here- it is close to a  willow lined creek too.
