I was down in the city yesterday and went up,into the hills area to buy myself new purse ,I didn't want something that would last 6 months and fall to bits .I know of the shop I went to yesterday ,as I bought my husband a ostrich skin wallet from there 10 years ago ..and it's still going strong ..All the items are made on the premises ,I was looking to replace my crocodile skin money purse after 20 years of service ..I took a few photos while there .. It's called Hahndorf ,first settled in the late 1800's by our first German settlement ,it's only about 14 km from our city of Adelaide ,which is South Australia
I remember my mom having a couple of crocodile or alligator purse but thought it's not allowed anymore...like real fur.
Yes here I is with a picture of the poor old 20 year old crocodile skin one ,that hubs bought me when he rode his motor bike up,to Darwin in 1996 ( Darwin is the crocodile capital of Aust) Crocks are farmed up there ( right up,the top of Aust ) for making garments ,bags shoes ,you name it it's made ...my new purse is cow hide That chair is out the front of the German Arms hotel it was a little cloudy/ spitting with rain to take to many photos I have a photo of hubs holding a young crocodile ( with its mouth taped shut ) up in Queensland ,where,they are also farmed Photo of Main Street,included down the bottom
Thank you @Ken Anderson if it wasn't spitting with rain I would have taken more Here is a link that will more information about the town We decided to go up on a weekday ,because if you go up there on a weekend you almost need to park in the city 16km away and walk it's impossible to get a park there on weekends https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hahndorf,_South_Australia
A few more snaps I took with my iPad Most of these I took inside the shop where I bought my purse The other one is the Main Street ,I was lucky enough to get a shot with no one walking down the street
This magic vista at Woronora is about 10 mins drive from my place. We went cayaking on the Woronora River this day.
