Robert's Ramblings

The original 'Port Adelaide - Commercial Road' train station was built in 1916.

Though reduced in scale and scope it is still in active use today after a long and dynamic history.

Last night I headed out to Port Adelaide for a night-time photowalk, anticipating images of water, vessels, the docks and the surrounding historic town. However I never quite made it there. As I was heading into Port Adelaide on Commercial Road I noticed the old railway station and decided I'd pull over for a quick look. I have passed under the viaduct of this station hundreds of times in my life and often thought how interesting the construction appeared. The verdict, a wonderful photographic site!

I stayed for quite some time taking images and looking around and before long I had become chilled to my core due to the cold. With that I decided to call it an evening and head home. The docks can wait for another time.
