Miner's 'Tinny'

Miner's 'Tinny'
Broken Hill is probably the corrugated iron capital of New South Wales with a large proportion of the city built with the material. This is particularly true of the houses built by and for the miners who work(ed) there, with whole streets of wonderful corrugated iron houses each with its own distinctive character. This is the miner's 'tinny' in which we stayed during our sojourn in this amazing place. In 2015 Broken Hill became the first Australian City to be added to the National Heritage List.

Err Uhhm ... Broken Hill is in New South Wales... For those who haven't visited Australia the 'tiled' roof of the house on the right appears to pressed steel. Inside there is likely to be pressed steel 'moulded plaster' wall linings and ceilings. Also notice the corrugated iron and pressed steel used in the fencing.

An upmarket example of pressed steel interior lining.

You were quick! I thought I had corrected it before anyone noticed. There was a slight slip in the state but soon corrected. I know well enough that Broken Hill is in NSW but the fingers typed otherwise. Mind you it is nearer to Adelaide than it is to Sydney. :-)

I've worked in the Broken Hill region a few times as a telecoms technician over my working life. These albums from early 2007 (ignore any 2002 dates, the camera kept reseting the clock) are the only digital photos.
