    50 years since the original trams ceased on 25 Feb 1961. Wonderful celebrations were held at the Sydney Tramway Museum over the weekend of 26/7 Feb 2011.

    Just going on the theatre advert over on the left, the year has to be 1905...maybe December...when the Royal Comic Opera Company presented 'A Girl from Kays' at Her Majesty's Theatre...it was the holiday attraction...the first performance was on 26th December. One slight problem is that the advertising hoarding has the date 'Sat December 23'...per the various newspaper adverts, the first performance was on 26th December...but maybe the discrepancy was due to rescheduling.

The Old Windmill, Nimitybelle

    "This image depicts Geldmacher's Mill [in] Nimmitabel. Nimmitabel is a small rural [village], located south of Cooma in New South Wales."[1]

    The windmill was built in 1865. Also known as Nimity Belle. About 1840 the locals started calling the village Nimoitebool. On Townsends map in 1845 as Nimmitabel.[2]  Also Nimmitybelle, Nimithybale and Nimitybell. Nimmitabel means, "the place where many waters start and divide".[3]

    "This old flour mill (1865-72) was built almost single-handedly by a German settler named John Geldmacher who also owned a store and other town allotments. He initially fitted sails but these were not permitted so close to a road where they tended to frighten horses. Thus he used horses to drive the mill which was not a great success. It was later a timber mill and is one of two such mills left in eastern Australia."[4]
