Via @rht_ebooks on twitter, ‘Old Adanimaby [sic] Schoolhouse’.

Terracotta vents, metal grilles, a contemporary mesh grille, and one terracotta grille altered for plumbing (water in the lagged pipe, LPG in the pipe with a petcock and regulator attached).

Old Adaminaby is an archaeological site and an assemblage of displaced bits of the community of Adaminaby, a former town whose earliest bits are underneath Lake Eucumbene (a dam lake, part of the Snowy River Hydro scheme). Its inventory sheet in the State Heritage Register (https://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/heritageapp/ViewHeritageItemDetails.aspx?ID=5060670) is evocative and even retro-futuristic, just as all of the captured panoramas on Google Maps show a Mad Max landscape of austere alpine gum forest, a rocky dam shoreline and dead trees in the receding water.

In January 1954 the residents endorsed Adaminaby's new location in a referendum. This was the Authority's first experience of relocating a community which had been established a century earlier. There were people in the town and district who had never been to Cooma, let alone a big city. Families had lived, worked and developed businesses in the town and surrounding rural areas for generations. 

Adaminaby is a 1950s story of State power and progress uprooting a community and placing it back geographically a little bit farther from the water. It doesn’t take too much imagination to realise how closely this kind of future—rising water forcing us all to move a little bit further back, leaving our archaeological remnants under the waves—might become more and more common.

St John’s, Adaminaby, NSW, Christmas 1906. The church was built in 1906 and relocated to the new town in 1956 when the old town was flooded as part of the Snowy Mountains scheme.
