Greenough

The catholic church & presbytery


Greenough is approx 20km down the coast from Geraldton.  This little historical village is National Trust.  There are 11 buildings here, all complete, in original condition and in fantastic shape.  The village was thriving in the 1800s due to the rich agricultural land.  Drought etc. soon decimated the town and it then declined.   Apparently until 1978 this whole village was used by one family.  It was then given over to the National Trust.

The nuns bedroom, one big nun must have used the end bed, very saggy.
