Historic Carlsruhe and Kyneton

Our first stop was the Cobb and Co Stables
that we pass everyday at Carlsruhe.
Next we looked at the two rocks that mark
where the toll gates used to be.
The intersection at Carlsruhe of Ebden and
Nicholson Street.
In 1854 there was a Post Office established
on this site at Carlsruhe.
The Pines in Kyneton, an old bluestone house
is now the Organ's Bus lines office.
Here we are outside St Paul's Anglican
Church in Kyneton.
We walked along historic Piper Street looking
at all the old buildings and signs.
Here we are at the Kyneton Museum in Piper
Street. Look at the old red letterbox.
The Museum used to be the Bank of
N.S.W. and was built in 1864.
At the Museum we looked at Theaden Cottage
and listened to a story about life in the olden days.
In Piper Street we stopped and looked at the
stone workers. We saw granite, marble and
other stones being cut and chiseled. 
At the beginning of Piper Street there is this
sign about the old produce market.
This blue stone house is now a B and D but
used to be part of the old flour mill.

Our day in Kyneton was an interesting day out.
