Here are some key bathroom renovation considerations:
Space Utilization:
Efficient use of space is crucial, especially in compact bathrooms. This involves strategic placement of fixtures, storage solutions, and optimizing traffic flow.
Fixtures and Fittings:
Selecting the right fixtures such as sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs is essential. For small bathrooms, consider space-saving options like corner sinks or compact toilets.
Storage Solutions:
Incorporating adequate storage is important for keeping the bathroom organized and clutter-free. This can include built-in cabinets, shelves, or creative storage solutions that maximize space.
Ventilation:
Proper ventilation helps prevent mold and mildew growth, ensuring a healthy environment. This might involve installing exhaust fans or windows that allow for air circulation.
Lighting:
Lighting can significantly impact the ambiance and functionality of a bathroom. A mix of ambient, task, and accent lighting can create a well-lit and inviting space.
Material Selection:
Choose durable and water-resistant materials that are suitable for the bathroom environment. This includes flooring, wall tiles, and countertops.
The story behind
Diggers Rest
History
Diggers Rest began life as a stopping place on the road to the Bendigo goldfields, with the Post Office opening on 18 June 1860.[2] Caroline Chisholm started a women’s shelter in the area. The town grew in the 1870s and 1880s and became a postal village with a general store, post office, weighbridge, mechanics’ institute and a chaff mill. The Diggers Rest Hotel was built by 1854, and later enlarged, and became an important stopping place on the route to the goldfields. It was severely damaged by fire.[3][4]
Diggers Rest is referred to as being famous for being the location of the first controlled powered flight of an aeroplane undertaken in Australia. The flight was performed by Harry Houdini on the 18th of March, 1910.[5][6] The only café in town is named in his honour.[7]
To the north of Diggers Rest township within the locality is the former township known as Aitken’s Gap, The Gap or Buttlejorrk.
Sunbury Rock Festival
The four Sunbury Pop Festivals were held on the same 620-acre (2.5 km2) private farm along Jacksons Creek, on the southern outskirts of Sunbury, between Sunbury and Diggers Rest. The property was owned by farmer and local identity George Duncan, and the property has become known in the district over the years simply as “Duncan’s farm”. The entrance gates to the Sunbury Pop Festivals were off Watsons Road. Also because of its proximity (2 km; 1.2 mi) to the smaller township of Diggers Rest, many of the attendees who traveled to Sunbury by train, actually alighted at Diggers Rest railway station, and not Sunbury.
