Old Coonawarra Train Station

This is the now defunct Coonawarra train station … i.e. the village of Coonawarra in the middle of the famous wine region of the same name in South Australia.

I took it while travelling between Melbourne and Adelaide in late December 2008 … we were down the road at the Wynns winery (tasting wine of course) and saw pictures of the station. We were pointed in the direction (it’s only about 1km off the main highway) and I tried a few different angles.

(Taken with my NEW Nikon D90 DSLR – Tamron 17-50mm 2.8. UPDATED PIC: Minor editing with levels and curves).

    Oh cool, you got a DSLR. Congrats on your new toy. You’re doing a great job with it. So jealous about your travel.

    Thanks James!

    I made sure I had the new toy for the road trip up the centre which was our interstate move to Darwin. Hopefully, when the Wet breaks in a couple of weeks I can get some great storm shots …

    Coonawarra is my equal favourite wine region, equal to The Adelaide Hills.

    Captures the feel of the place perfectly.
    Thanks for sharing
