One of the Munro girls giggles as she writes her name in lead pencil on the upper level chimney in the 1890s. The blacksmiths' tools are clanging in the corrugated iron and timber outbuilding. The cows are mooing, wanting to be milked. The trees rustling in the breeze tell stories of their homelands - England, the US, Australia.
