This week the old general store in the former Victorian gold mining town of Majorca (now a ghost town) burnt down. What a shame. One of the few reminders of a past boom time that used to include 250 shops. Here's a pic from the Lost Maryborough Facebook page:

ReplyDeleteI was just there in Feb photographing ghost signs (https://flickr.com/photos/63813581@N00/sets/72157649060960003) in the little forgotten gold rush towns and I spent a good two hours in Majorca. They building was stunning. Very sad to read about the fire and hasty demolishing.
