If you would like to see years and years of discarded items organized into a quaint little village, you have to stop by Demolition World if you are ever in the Invercargill area.
All sorts of animals wander on the grounds. Yes, that's a chicken drinking from a birdbath in one photo.
There is no charge to see all these wonderful things from the past, but you can make a donation if you feel moved to help out.

That certainly is a lot of junk, but some of it is rather cool!
ReplyDeleteI love the 'junk', it's lovely to see.

ReplyDeleteThat's a place one could visit a dozen times and still not see it all!!! Cheers from the Hutch in the Bonny Land... am finally back on my perch!!! YAM xx
That is a uniquely wonderful place -- my husband would love this! (I wouldn't mind it and would be taking zillions of pictures, but he would be looking at how everything was made and talking to the people and just having a great old time.)
ReplyDeleteDemolition World is saving the local treasures, how wonderful. It's nice to see all these vintage items. Thanks so much for sharing, I hope to see you back again.
ReplyDeleteOh, my, I could look and look at this place...so many things of interest!
ReplyDeleteThe scrap of civilisation, people handle often so carelessly with their things, sigh!
ReplyDeleteI always try to have my things for a long time and repair many of them, but, of course, I lost scrap too...

The picture of the peacock is beautiful! The colors of the feather are so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a step back in time, and if only the walls could talk. It's amazing how one mans junk can be another's treasure, and I bet the people who own and run it love collecting all this stuff.
