Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe

Ye Olde Bicycle Shoppe
One of Bundanoon's more interesting buildings (see also PiPs), not for its architecture but for its history. Early on, it was a Post Office, later a grocery, then a tearoom. Finally, in 1949, it became a bicycle shop and laid claim to be the largest bicycle hire outlet in the Southern Hemisphere (people would come by train from Sydney for weekends and hire bicycles). In those days it even had a Penny Fathing bicycle (as in PiP1) mounted on the roof. And now? Well, unlikely as it may seem, the Bicycle Shoppe now houses a very good Thai restaurant! Best viewed large I feel.

Happy Wall Wednesday, everyone.

'Home of the Highland Fling'. What's that about? Can I expect to see dancers placing swords on the ground, dressed in kilts, wearing sporrans and Sgian-dubhs, doing some dancing? Interesting mural and info.

Och aye, Amelia, here's a little background. The NSW Southern Highlands have taken the mantle of being the Australian centre for those with a Scottish heritage or interest. With that in place, there has been a Bundanoon Highland Gathering annually since 1978. If you'd care to pack your kilt, the next is being held in April 2024.

A place of character and history George. I like too the fact that it has a Highland gathering here. I'll pack my accordion and RSCDS books then sort my tickets now. Well done.

HWW, enjoy the day. Herb

Interesting history and a terrific set of images, George,
As a teenager, I rode a penny-farthing for a bet
all went well until it came to stopping and dismounting
which happened both at the same time in my case ;-)))

Hi George
I like this set of picture very much!
It is a very different and exciting composition
Fantastic colours too
I also found an interesting article on the derivation of 'Ye', which was always pronounced as 'the'.... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ye_olde
Best Wishes, HFF, a good weekend, and stay safe!!
