Sally Paskins’ Store in Gundaroo, a small rural village about 25 miles north of Canberra, was built in 1886 and is a well preserved example of a slab hut, a dwelling made from slabs of split or sawn timber with a brick chimney.

Sally (Sarah) Paskins, the original owner, seems to have been a real character who kept a cockatoo on the counter of the shop.
