As you admire the Craftsmanship of the Avola Log School House. It was built by craftsman from local timber taken from the nearby forest, Brought in by teams of horses.The logs where peeled and then shaped and dovetail notched in to place with hand saw and broad axe. Facing the enduring test of time. It stands tribute to the ingenuity and determination of a small community to provide a place of learning for their children. Built in a time when power tools where unknown.The Large east facing windows brought in the first rays on sunrise, the West wall has No widows to shield the students from the hot afternoon sun
Think to yourself what it must have been like to be a student here..This building was renovated by the TNRD in 2014, Hopefully it will continue as a monument to the resilience of the pioneers who built it
One of the early students lives just down the hill..
