The Social Hotel.

Hotels of the Goulburn Valley.
The rationale behind an exploration, of the hotels, or pubs, of the Goulburn valley, was initially conducted to investigate, both, the social effect of declining beer consumption, and the decline in the number of hotels, that serve beer across the Goulburn Valley. In the process of the investigation, it was noted that in general there had been a decline in social spaces for people to gather, in the country areas of the region. Looking at the social scape of the Goulburn Valley since the seventies, l noted that the institutions of country dances, churches, cubs guides, and pubs, had all decreased. It should be noted that country areas like the Goulburn Valley have the potential to be socially isolating, as people can be spread out over a large area. Social isolation can have severe psychological effects on a persons mental health. The effect on the psychological well being of Goulburn Valley residents, was raised as being potentially linked for some, to the closure, and loss of social spaces, including Hotels. As part of this process of considering the Hotel’s significance, a visual record of some of the hotels was achieved, before any more where lost.
