Nice finds, chironex, although they'd be nicer if UrbanGhosts didn't insist on chopping off most of the right half of every photo.  |

It would be improper (sometimes impractical) to shoot these myself, so I used Streetview:  Several derelicts as yard art in front of the Rollingstone Hotel. Last time I passed by there was a derelict truck in much worse condition hidden in the carpark somewhere.  This business is around the corner from my workplace. I don't know what the old machines used as yard art have to do with their business. |

 Several farm houses in Toobanna, the way into Ingham, have big piles of old stuff hanging around near the road; they just don't appear close enough to Streetview. |

^That's what is known as "yard-art".

Knew I'd seen one here last time I went through the place, maybe 20 years ago...    An old excavator in Mount Morgan, Queensland. There was another old earthmover at a park in Rockhampton, but I can't find it on GoogleEarth. May have been removed. This is Rosewood Railway Museum, Queensland:   This area appears to be their cast-offs:  Here it is at ground level:   And this part is on the museum side of the road:  |

I went to the enterprise for peat extraction. Not far from Moscow. And yet there is a narrow gauge railroad. Peat is now not popular and mining it now at the minimum level.   |

Just something I recently bought off of eBay for £30 (delivered). It's history is supposedly Victorian, but I only have word of mouth to go by. Regardless, I liked it's used look, with a little light rust here and there ... kinda gives it a bit of character  Click on the images for a larger view...   It's apparently "a very early Parkinson by shape of molding and the lack of markings which came later" |

I want one.
Thanks chironex and Dr Goodall for keeping the thread alive.
I'll be out of photos for a few weeks till I get my own camera again.

Well, now venomous snake season is pretty much over, I'll be getting out & about a bit with the camera. There are a few bits and pieces I have in mind to take photos of this winter, including old farm machinery and mining bits and pieces.
Might find some train stuff, too!
Very nice vice, Dr. Goodall!
