Girilambone station hasn't seen a train since the early 80s. The station buildings, in early 2007, have been vandalised and some attempt has been made restore them. The high goods platform is at the left. See the opposite view here: www.ipernity.com/doc/grahamh/24080733

The Byrock railway yards out of use since the early 80s. The water tower and crane are dry and probably haven't served a steam loco for 50 years. The platform is without nameboard or station building. the shelter on the extreme right has a noticeboard of articles and photos from busier times.

The old bridge, the first to cross the Darling River, at North Bourke. The lift section was to allow river boats to pass. It was built from parts manufactued in England and it opened in 1888.

The Darling River at North Bourke. The water is stored by the town weir. Without the weir there would be no water. The sun has just set.
