There are a number of abandoned buildings around the area. Cookardinia used to a thriving little country community but the tide of progress left it behind with most of the business and social trade going to Albury and Wagga. The inn closed in 1925 but was briefly restored in 1976 for the film Mad Dog Morgan starring Dennis Hopper (Morgans Lookout isn't too far away from there).

Nice shot Carlos. It has been on my list of locations to shoot around the area. Looks like I will have to scrub it off the list now, as it has been 'done" .

WOW! Thanks Greg That explains all the beer bottles. I tried telling my in-laws where I'd been ie. past Mangoplah heading towards Holbrook turned right down a dirt road then left down a sealed road and there it was. They weren't sure where I'd gotten myself to ... I wasn't really paying attention, just enjoying the drive.

Thanks for the explanation, I never realised it was that old nor that it could've had such a colourful history

Nearby? Try more like a 5hr drive from Sydney Just happens that I visit my in-laws in Wagga every couple of months or so.

Thanks Matt no, no light painting just boosted the shadows, it was a moonless night. That's a good idea ie. lighting the inside, I think next time I'm down I might try that
