I’m joining Becky in her October Square Photo Challenge over at The Life of B. The rules of the challenge are simple: most photos must be square and fit the theme word Past. Look for #PastSquares. This month we’re travelling back in time in the western Queensland town of Miles and surrounds. We’ll explore the local area and join in the festivities at the Miles Back to the Bush Festival.

I’ve been told my great grandfather’s milk cans, with his name printed on the labels, are included in this collection of old dairy equipment. Which cans are his? I’ll never know, because the gate on the doorway of the dairy was locked. It is nice to know a part of my ancestry is preserved here.
That’s pretty cool to know!

I thought so, even if I didn’t know exactly which ones were his.

how amazing that your family history is in here – maybe one of these days one of the curators can send you a picture of his urns

I doubt it. I asked a lady but she behaved as if everyone comes in and says what I said. She definitely wasn’t interested in being helpful.

Oh no, that’s not the kind of response you expect from these places 😞

No. But she wasn’t giving an inch. Oh well.

That’s exciting, but what a shame you couldn’t get in to look at the labels.

I did ask at the front desk but the lady wasn’t really very cooperative.
