Once was a Station.... by 


The platform of the old Coonawarra railway Station. Overgrown and disused but still bearing the hallmark name of the region.

For those few of you who have never heard of Coonawarra it is THE premium red wine region of Australia. Blood red soil over limestone in perfect growing climate.

Near Penola in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia.

Cannon 400D, 3 shot HDR 18/55 converted to B&W in CS3.

    This is great Steve. next time I go to the Mount will have to check it out……….

  • Suzanne, if your traveling South towards the Mount turn right at Coonawarra to go to the shop or Wynns Winery, keep traveling out for about two kilometers and you cant miss it…
