Considering the fact that the British meaning of 'sod' is demeaning, I had to stop
to look around.
Fortunately, 'sod' is the material that the house is made from!
Hugh Murray built in the 1860s for John McIntosh, as a store and as a stopping place
for miners heading to the Tuapeka goldfields.
Beautifully maintained property.
