Only two buildings are left outside, the coal stage at Possum Point and the water tank at Bottom Points. In January 2005, a TGR CC open wagon was replenising the coal stage, above, while below, a little quick forestry has re-exposed the coal stage to view.Previous | NextPossum Point, before and after. The top photo shows Bill Cooper happily shunting on 3rd October 2003 while the bottom photo shows the far end of Possum Point after the flood. The level of debris on the fence shows how high the water came. It was very fast flowing too, but I think the fence protected the station area from the full force of the floodwater, and damage to the station area was minimal.
