    I.Y.U. (LATER BABINYA) MILKING SHED, CYPRESS - Physical Description 1

    This large gabled and paling clad former milking shed has corrugated iron roofing branded `TW & JW Walker' 3 Crowns of Wolverhampton (thought to be a rare brand); and new steel pipe columns (welded flanges) connecting to deep Oregon main beams throughout, presumably as part of the conversion to a shearing shed. Some timber posts survive at the north end internally and posts are visible on the north elevation (between paling clad panels), with chamfered edges and timber block footings. The floor is part concrete and part T&G pine (added?); a door is of the Edwardian era, with `Carpenter' brand rimlock; and the main double door pairs are ledge & braced and vertical boarded. External cladding is of part sawn hardwood paling (north, east, south ends) and fibrous cement sheet to the west, with new louvre windows. There is a domed 9' thick brick well located to the north-west, near a Monterey cypress row.
