" The town made its living from summer visitors anxious to escape the heat and humidity of the coastal plain, and year-round visitors who aspired to ease their rheumatic aches and pains by soaking in the hot mineral waters some geological freak had placed beneath Bryon ground. Therefore all along Byron Street were many gues-houses and boadring -houses"




It has become popular to travel somewhere nice and cool in summer for people, especially who live in extremely hot and humid area. Back in time, it was a popular among weathly people.
The story takes place in a small town of Byron in the Blue Mountain in Australia. The quote explains that because the town of Byron is a small town, only time they make a lot of money is when visitors from big cities come and enjoy the cool weather. The reason i chose this picture is the boarding house fits the image of small town and very classic.
