The Mellum Club Hotel

One of the problems facing building conservators in a country with so little history, is that they also underwent rapid changes in a relatively short time.

The Mellum Club Hotel was originally built around the corner and up the street from its present location in the late 1800's, but was moved over a period of two weeks by night, still operating by day as it went, and has undergone many extensions, renovations and modernisations over time.

It's now called the Landsborough Pub, the name of the town also having changed from Mellum Creek at some time during that century of frenetic economic activity.

The colours of the roof and trim really catch my eye.
