Del Mar Schoolhouse

A schoolhouse for only a short period, it survived the years by serving other purposes: residence, bunkhouse for sheep shearers and storehouse for wool.  The building is now a proud memorial to the rich history of the community of Del Mar, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated group of volunteers.
