To me it seems Medevil so not relevent to Oz so it must be somewhere that was a convict settlement.

Good guesses, but incorrect I'm afraid.

Not a convict settlement but it is an old village, the oldest surviving of it's 'type' I believe.

Not Kryal castle, but on the correct side of the country now, but not in Victoria.

Cuppa, I'm pretty sure this is the set of stocks in Sofala NSW.

 Well done Alan - Sofala it is. Google tells me it is Australia's oldest surviving gold rush town. A quaint & quirky little place which is worth a visit IMHO. 

  Over to you.

Often camped at Greenpoint so easy to recognise. This is a more recent piece of silo art but on an often used route for grey nomads.

Those silos are in Barraba, but I have no suitable photos of my own.

Perhaps someone else might like to put up a picture? Cheers

Clue time:- Privately built by a farmer who wished to supply water to his crops, and to a nearby town. Opened 1912.

 Yes Jeff, It is the Toapin Weir, about 8km from Quairading. Lots of history but I am quickly writing this as I unload my trailers, so can't elaborate.

Anyway,  where to now? Cheers

Some of the structures can be daunting for the older kids, but I won't make any catty remarks.

No idea, don't recognise it, but the pic says South Australia to me. If that is correct, it's probably as close as I'm going to get.
