Locals gather at Aramac Station prior to the departure of the rail motor to Barcaldine in March 1975. The station building has seen better days having become white ant infested. It had developed a decided lean as can be seen when compared with the goods shed in the background. The building was demolished in 1976 whilst the Goods Shed has been preserved.

Love Your Life by Sophie Kinsella
I love you … but what if I can’t love your life?
Ava is sick of online dating. She always trusted her own instincts over an algorithm, anyway, and she wants a break from it all. So when she signs up to a semi-silent, anonymous writing retreat in glorious Italy, love is the last thing on her mind.
Until she meets a handsome stranger … All she knows is that he's funny, he's kind and – she soon learns – he’s great in bed. He's equally smitten, and after a whirlwind, intoxicating affair, they pledge their love without even knowing each other’s real names.
But when they return home, reality hits. They’re both driven mad by each other's quirks and annoying habits, from his eccentric, naked-sauna-loving family to her terribly behaved shirt-shredding dog. As disaster follows disaster, it seems that while they love each other, they just can’t love each other’s lives. Can they overcome their differences to find one life, together?
