Jack Sue Diving (Perth, WA)

 historical building  Add category

This shop is pretty typical of some of the run-down buildings that dot Midland. They provide some uniqueness up this way but hardly tourist material. Look on the bright side - these buildings are still standing and therefore the local history is preserved. With a coat of paint this building would look fabulous. February 2008.
