The Trading Post Laguna, originally established 1835....

The Hunter Valley isn't far from Sydney and a road to it was built quite early - using convict labour...

Superb tones and perspective Rob, we love visiting the Hunter Valley area when in Australia always find our way to Tyrell’s Vineyard to pick up some wine for the trip:)

[Dione Giorgio]

I'm sure it wasn't that easy for the convicts. Beautiful shot and great sepia tones.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Easy labor I suppose- but also a deterrent for committing further crime in the future! I like the use of sepia for this picture.

Hi Diana, Wylie, Joy, Carol, Margaret, Joe, Babs, Debbie, Jane Hasker, Dione and Ann - thanks so much for all of your kind comments. However, I'm afraid I can't claim much credit for the edit here - my little camera does a lot of different effects and sepia is one of them. It's fun to play with for a change, especially for these vintage shots.... Cheers Rob

@pcoulson Hi Peter. The Hunter is great and I'm so pleased to hear that you also enjoy it. Tyrells is one of the oldest and still one of the best. They actually also rent out separate wine making facilities so that smaller winemakers don't have to immediately go the expense of installing all of the required vats etc. We were told this by one winemaker we visited - the one who had built his cellar door in the 6 shipping containers......Thanks for your interest and I,m pleased the photo rang a bell with you. Cheers Rob
