Congratulations to you and your bride.
It must have been nice to get married in your "home" country as well.
Thanks for posting the photos. Love the vine covered arches.

No these ruins were in the South Australian bush. My G-G-Grand-Father came from East Brandenburg in Prussia in 1838. I visited some of the villages there in 2002, though no idea how old the village buidlings were. The Polish residents there now said they were "new" but they looked very old.
I will see if I can post some photos of the old South Aussie homestead ruins on another thread, so as not to hijack JTG's thread.
Looking through some digital photos I remembered this thread and comments. So posted the photos here:
Some 'colonial' cottage photos
