Take the train or automobile to visit towns in 'the valley'.
Here at Paterson, on the Paterson River, is a Corn Staddle designed to store fodder in a dry vermin-free environment. Fry's Coaching Enterprise once served the Hunter Valley and Northern NSW with services for passengers, goods and mail.
It wasn't a coaching school as in education. Staddle: 1. The lower part of a stack of corn, hay, etc. 2. a supporting frame for a stack; a platform upon which a stack or rice is placed.3. any supporting base or framework. ME ,OE, Icel.(Macquarie Dictionary)

Looks to be an "air-conditioned" storage too!

That storage structure makes a lot of sense!
