Timber Weatherboards Colour:N/A Front Yard at Lake MacquarieLayers of grey paint peel from timber weatherboards on a derelict selector's cottage in rural New South Wales, raw wood exposed where decades of weather have done their work. Structures like this one represent the later period of pastoral settlement, post 1880s weatherboard construction marking a step up from the slab huts that preceded them.
