With some stunners of the hard to get at bridge over Warialda Creek .The bridge is about 1 km to the west of the station. Visible are the concrete footings from the original bridge that was washed away.
This station was opened on 25-11-1901,situated 740 ks /460 miles from Sydney on the Moree to Inverell Branch. Elevation is 1,037 ft or 316 mtrs.The station was closed on 3-12-85.
This was obviously an important grain receival station in its hay (grain ) day.
The D150 Bulkhead which was added in 1966 for 15,000 tonnes of added storage .
Which is situated on the Western side of the station away from the main yard
The Original S016 was added to in 1960 with 2 extra bins for 6,000 tonnes
adding to the origonal 1,600 tonnes
You may have noticed that this silo has JAYE painted on the roof .Is this a cry for help,Or someone seeking attention.Not really the best place for either under the circumstances.

ReplyDeleteVery nice photos and some nice video work from Nick.
I hope you didn't actually run into a brown snake or two.
I had a brown snake six inches under my foot when walking along a eight inch wide sheep track in long grass, it was about two inches thick and I don't know how I managed to keep balanced and not tread on it while it slowly moved across the track. I was following my father-in-law and he must have disturbed it.
See you at Epping.

Great pics, including the old J2.
ReplyDeleteWow Rohan, they are some nice shots from the air that Nick took. I might have to look at saving up for a drone myself, instead of taking all my photos crouched in the long grass. I've never once stopped to consider snakes!
