The place, true to it's time, had a coach-house and stable I'd have loved to turn into a modern house.

The district's other claim to fame was that it was settled by Cornish copper miners. A played out mine at Burra, apart from it's beautiful lake, showed that they built for the long term.

We left the vineyards and headed into New South Wales.
We had planned to meander through the beautiful Victorian
countryside, but a couple of family commitments put paid to
that, luckily. Mildura, an old inland riverport, was a breath of fresh air.
We took a trip on a paddle-wheeler down through the locks, and on the
return met the biggest moth I've ever seen.

When I was on a SEARCH flight(in the service)there was a COCKROACH that
big in the shower,at the temp barracks in Bermuda.Needless to say,I didn't
stay in the shower very long!I was afraid to step on him with bare feet!

Yours looks kinda cicada-like to me.
Obviously looking for his cousin from the other side of the world.
