SLAB COTTAGE REMOVED FROM HAMILTON PROPERTY AT DAYBORO, QUEENSLAND
Colour photo of dwelling built with timber slabs. It has a verandah with table & chairs, old harness bits and a lean-to on side nearest front of photo.
Dray of some sort in foreground with wood wheels.
Would seem building is in a village of some sort and as such is not related to the Toodyay area.

This cottage appears to be a part of a pioneer village recreation, possibly Old Petrie Town, formerly known as the North Pine Country Park located at Whiteside, a suburb in the Moreton Bay Region, Queensland. (26km from Brisbane CBD).
