Monte Christo is reputed to be Australia’s Most Haunted House with 9 resident ghosts – Enter if you dare !
Envisioned the grandest home of the regions landed gentry Monte Cristo succeeded to become the ultimate status symbol, like a castle in feudal Europe it was the center of local power and sat perched high on a hill so its lord could survey his realm from the second floor balcony. However it was still a farming property, the nucleus of Crawley family agricultural pursuits, and Mr Crawley wasn’t above getting his hands dirty.
No price was spared in its construction, built of sandstock bricks fired on site and laid on a drystone foundation, in over a century not a single crack has appeared. Downstairs walls are 18" thick, the upper 9" and both made of solid brick, the ceilings are 12 feet high, upstairs constructed of cypress pine, milled locally, and downstairs lath and plaster.

Love the wide angle!
Perfect Subject for HDR Phil, came out a real treat mate :) I’ll be around Sydney this week-end and can’t wait :)
Splendid piece, well done, Philip!
They don’t make ’em like they used to. And 9 ghosts…very cool!
Looks great as you have displayed it framed Philip !
So many memories in this …. the cane laundry basket … the wooden clothes airer, both of which would last a lifetime, unlike current plastic versions and the mangle, which did an excellent job of removing excess water from sheets, towels and anything else, using “womanpower” :)
Nice one Phil♥
Very nice compo Philip!
Beutiful image Phillip.
Stunner Philip.
