South Lismore Railway Station

The South Lismore Railway Station has seen a lot over the years. It was built in 1889 and served as a vital transportation hub for the region for over a century. However, the station has been closed for a number of years, due to flooding and damage from the 2017 and 2022 floods.

The station is also where I left for first overseas holiday at the age of 17.

Here are a couple of videos of how it’s looking these days.
