We were driving a gravel road near the small settlement of Millers Flat when we hurriedly pulled over to look at a strange ruin lying in a farm field. My last post’s photo, ‘Summer View, Millers Flat’ was taken just after we’d got out of the car. Here’s the rest [out-of-frame in the ‘Summer View’ pic].
Central Otago, New Zealand. 23 Jan 2022.

Constructed in the early 1880s. Category 1 historic place.

At the time it was the largest single-storey woolshed in the southern hemisphere.


Wild apple tree where we stopped, in the verge ‘tween road and field.

A little further along we found info ..

Wow! You don’t realise how big the building was until you see the side view. I like the curved shape of the gable – makes for a more attractive ruin!

Massive woolshed! It does look lovely, even as a ruin!
