at a homestead in rural New South Wales that once sheltered a family through seasons of work and weather

The building served as Asahi Elementary School from 1975 to 1983, then as a public lodging facility operated by Yubari Kanko Kaihatsu until 2006, when it was abandoned as the city entered fiscal rehabilitation. Part of the Family School Fureai series.
