The root cellars at Elliston

On the way to…

  1. Discovery Trail →

    A root cellar keeps vegetables from freezing in winter and cool in summer, and was ordinary domestic infrastructure before electricity. Elliston has enough of them still standing to be known for it — the town points visitors at an upstairs/downstairs pair built in 1915. They are on the roadside, they cost nothing, and they are the reason the town is on anybody’s map.

    Stopping here adds about 0 min and 0 km to that drive (4h 29m door to door).

Drive it with your own nav:Organic Maps →OsmAnd →Apple →Google →Waze →The first two run on OpenStreetMap and don't track you — the same map this site is built from.
