The road through the Germein Gorge & the Gorge Hotel ruins, August 2010

There weren't too many places through the gorge where we could pull off the road enough to take photos, but I did manage to take a couple. The ruins are of the Gorge Hotel, Bangor - a stopping place for taking loads of copper then grain through to Port Germein for shipping between 1888 and 1911 after a train line was opened up in 1910 putting an end to the horse & bullock traffic through the gorge.

P.S. I lost one of the lens from my glasses while taking photos of the ruins, so my vision was drastically impaired, but I hadn't realised the reason until half an hour later! So glad the photos turned out reasonably considering!
