I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time, I must not let Tag-o-rama dominate my free time ...

Funny!!!

Ha ha, you could say I'm proud of myself, I resisted sucessfully last night and went to bed fairly early instead.
Tonight I finish work at 7pm and should be on the road about 7:30pm and if anyone wants to join me I'll stop in at the Russley Rd/ Yauldhurst Rd corner garage to top up the tank. Should be under way again by 7:45pm.
If someone else takes advantage of what looks like another great days riding weather and gets it before then well obviously the plan may change. I'll either be looking for the new tag or maybe just head toward Akaroa or the bays and all the pea gravel.
Please note I generally travel at sub-light speeds.

Got it!, Glentunnel Library.

You and me both! Well done PeterJ. In a past life it was the Post office. It can be found on the corner of Homebush Rd and Philips St

Welcome to the game, by the way

Some more info...
Glentunnel library and post office built in 1886 from local bricks and tiles, Its main claim to fame is that it is octagonal. Believe it is still in use as library and postal agency. I have heard why it is octagonal but cant remember what the reason was think someone gave the money to build it.

New Tag coming here soon....

Those local bricks no doubt came from the Deans Famly brick works. I wonder if they bank rolled the unusual design in order for it to be a show piece?

Congratulations, just in the nick of time.

All eyes on the thread awaiting the new tag.

Thats where the bricks and tiles did come from. The library contains a sample of all the brick and terracotta tile the factory ever produced. But was built from "public raised money" ... which could be partially as you suggest ...

Prior to building the library, he built the Homebush station woolshed too.

The builder was a Thomas Lamport.

New Tag. Here you go... Not a great pic I am afraid. This one is quite tricky (I think) Cant see this door from the road but building is easily visible.
I will try and get back there tomorrow and get a better picture in the daylight.

Pete.

[Transalper]

Indeed more pictures and even a clue of some discription wouldn't go astray, there's no way I'm going to get it from just that picture.

I knew where this one was after a little research.. just no time to get it

BTW - Noice Bike

I have no idea where your new tag is - yet!!

[PeterJ]

Ok, Apparently my grainy dark photo of an obscure doorway somwhere in Canterbury is not enough.
Here is a better one showing a bit more of the building, Many of you will have been past it often(especially if you like a bit of fishing).

Good luck.
