Wing Hing Long

This was a country general store which opened in the 1880s when Tingha was beginning to thrive as a tin mining town. It operated until 1998, when the local Council purchased it to become a museum - it now is heritage listed and a visit inside really is a "blast from the past" (images to come). It struck me that this image could have been taken back in 1961 (the date of the newest vehicle, the Renault Floride at left), so a b/w treatment seemed appropriate.

Explored.

This DOES look like a scene from the 60's! Excellent decision for the b/w, I'm now expecting to walk into a drugstore and order a milkshake, pop a coin into the juke box and play some music! :) What a neat place to visit. I love walking back into time in places like this. Thanks for sharing...I also loved your inset, equally super! I do love that car of yours! :)
