Carrieton

This would be our stop over for tonight. Caravan park is in the old primary school grounds. School closed in 1995 due to lack of students. These days there is about 20 residents in this long forgotten railway town. The railways have a lot to answer for, so many of these towns have just faded away after the railway closed
