Tammin - Map of Town Now, this is handy. A good map of the townsite so you can see where we all are! June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Post Office Another great looking post office. This time it belongs to Tammin. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - National Australia Bank And here is another bush NAB. By the looks of it, it was built at almost the same time as was the Post Office. The designs are similar as are the construction materials. Perhaps built as part of a single project? June 2011 |
|
Tammin - CWA House The local Country Women's Association has its headquarters in the rather grand house set on a huge block. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Old Shop On a side-street in town, this looks like it might have been a farm providoring shop at one stage judging by the size of the large shed at the rear. Now it seems to be part of that residence to the left. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Old Tractor Ah, old farm machinery. Each one of the towns I visited today, well nearly all, had some museum or display of old machinery. This rather strange contraption - a plough perhaps - is on display in town. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - House Most houses in Tammin appear to be rather modest but look quite comfortable. This is just one example. The town today is as quiet as a mouse - a very peaceful place for people who live here. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Tammin Hotel The railway line bisects the town as it does with others along this stretch of highway. On the north side of town is the Tammin Hotel. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Main Street This is a look down the main shopping street on the north side of town. Up there turn left for York or right for Wyalkatchem. To the left of picture is the railway line. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Hardware Store Part of the main shopping area is this, the local hardware store. Looking through the windows, it looks pretty well stocked with whatever you might need. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Fire Station Bright red doors on the front of the fire station and a manual bell out the front. I wonder when the last time this had to be used? June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Hall Past the Fire Station is the Tammin Hall. It looks rather 1950-ish in design. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Hydrology Model and Amphitheatre A little behind the Tammin Hall (you can see it over there in the background) is this rather pretty Hydrology Model Park and Amphitheatre, named Kadjininy Kep. Inside the building just to the left of the stage are ecology displays featuring best practice land use and salinity issues. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Donnan Park Donnan Park is a recreation and sports complex a little to the north of the townsite. This photo features the grandstand and facility buildings. Today the ground in front of the grandstand is set up for soccer. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Silos A prominent feature of all these wheatbelt towns is the giant grain silos and handling facilities. Why such gleaming white? To reflect the sun to keep the contents cooler? And how to they keep them so clean? June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Anglican Church This is St Marks Anglican Church which was constructed in 1932. The Foundation Stone was laid by John Packham, Esq., J.P. on 13th August 1932. June 2011 |
|
Tammin - Train Station If you arrived in Tammin on the Avon Link or the Prospector then this is where you'd alight. Another famous picture in the train station series! June 2011 |
