Chakola Shack Colour:White Bunkyo-ku sat sealed and abandonedTimber walls bleached grey by years of sun and rain, the Chakola Shack stands in the Australian bush with a rusted corrugated iron roof sheltering its decaying interior. A vernacular slab timber structure of the kind built by selectors and smallholders across rural New South Wales from the 1860s onward, it represents the arc of pastoral settlement and slow abandonment that defines this region. Part of the A Place to Call Home series.
