Builder and passionate heritage hoarder Willy Hall has been collecting remarkable old relics at his Southern Highlands property, in NSW, for decades.
Old trains, boats, vintage cars and even old houses lie in various states of disrepair all over his bushland block. But this is no graveyard for old junk – rather a rescue yard for future projects.
When Willy’s friends and heritage devotees Val and John Jessop come knocking in search of an old house to restore, Willy has not one but two remarkable old buildings flat-packed on the site.
One is an old ghost town cottage, the other is an old sawmill. But getting these buildings into shape will require remarkable effort, including coping with Australia’s worst bushfire season and a global pandemic.
