Like the shape of the large tree and its position with the sky. Unusual looking 'barn' structure. Looks like an open sided building in part.

pretty common sort of barn configuration here, sort of a standardised, almost traditional design.

The things are always meant to be taller, wider and longer than you need, like you see here with a little stack in the middle. When the season comes in it can easily be filled, which more or less protects itself from the weather

traditionally they'd be cut gum trees still with a yoke at the top, then some simple framing with corrugated iron nailed to it. This one is of pine posts and steel trusses but of the same ilk. Common to that the uprights arent braced giving that spindly look to them. Its a bit of how things were done, and somewhat different to the US, you should check out a Cobb & Co stage coach some time and see how different they are to the US 'pattern'.

Cobb & Co used to have a depo or relay station quite near here, theres the stables and cottages associated scattered around and abouts.

the tree itself is a huge graceful display and could have been here when Napoleon was a boy
