Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Old image of the orginal 1850's Portsea Hotel, Mornington Peninsula, hanging now in the entrance hallway.
It was just a cottage with a bar attached.
Below, the Happy New Year banner features the front of Portsea Hotel today!

I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

They call it progress.
Happy New Year, Gemma.
Your image of an image is nice Gemma but I prefer your own sepia monochrome rendering of the hotel.
I love to see Then&Now comparisons, Gemma. It makes history come alive.
Once again, health and happiness for 2010.
