Goods Shed Flooring decomposing its metal frame the colour

its metal frame the colour of old blood

its paint peeling in long strips under a flat grey sky

Timber weatherboards and a standing chimney point to a later selector's cottage

Sunlight falls across the entrance threshold of Seika Dormitory

where the architecture itself was considered part of the treatment

Goods Shed Flooring decomposing its metal frame the colourThe original ironbark floor of the goods shed at Bombala Railway Station, photographed in 2016. Corrugated iron walls, timber boards worn back to bare grain, and a restoration bill volunteers put at $150,000 to re stump and re floor the building. The shed opened with the station on 21 November 1921 and has stood here since. Part of the Bombala Station series.
