The Rock Hall & Museum

The Town Hall is an iconic building central to the people and the history of The Rock which exists as both a Museum and a meeting place

Come in and have a browse at the new The Rock Town Hall & Museum. The Museum is in its infancy and we are building on the collection every month. Our doors are currently open on the first Saturday of each month, with the support and assistance of the community, we are working towards opening on a regular basis.

At a guess this photo was taken after July 1901 when The Rock became a junction location to Lockhart and the eventual terminus of Oaklands.

The Photographer is standing between the Branch Line (to the right) and the No. 1 Up Siding, about 327 miles 29 chains from Sydney.

Apart from the very old school catchpoints you can also see the earth tank built to the right to capture water for the locomotives of the time.

On the trike may have been Charles Hall, Immanuel Sellick or John Dowed, just some names associated with track work at the time.

The white post right of center is probably The up distant off the branch, it was noted on the 1901 diagram as 25 feet tall.

To the far left you can see the main south (opened in September 1880) disappear through a cutting where it curves left and heads towards Albury.

Unfortunately i have no source to credit, but i will take the shellacking from the photographer if identified.

Remembrance Day at The Rock Cenotaph. We paused for a minute silence, to remember all that served to protect our beautiful country.

Thanks to Coral Biggs for these photos.

Photo taken at The Rock looking south across the footings of the grain silos. They were open in October 1918 so the photo is previous to then.
