old shire offices...

old shire offices in Dromana are now mainly used as a museum...
Dromana wass in the old Flinders shire (or region) which included all the southern Mornington Peninsula...
It was abolished in 1994, and now is known as the Mornington Peninsula shire
- including Hastings + Mornington + parts of Frankston
