Sad to tell, there is no actual story behind this design ... it is just a typical outback Australia scene which came about as an experiment to determine whether a landscape could be worked on cross-stitch.
The title, however, does have a meaning ... shortly after my great-grandfather founded the family property of 'Avondale' at Miners Rest, near Ballarat in 1862, he developed another property in northern Victoria that he named 'Bankside'.
'Bankside' and 'The Hayshed' make an excellent pair.
