Gunghalin ESB? ESA? In Canberra was like that too.

A massive white shed housing the FRS, BFB, SES and ambos across the road from a massive green hardware store and a tiny shopping centre, all at the end of a road in the middle of a sheep paddock.

It's great to capture history like this - stations, appliances, people, jobs, all of that. Even images of very recent history can be very interesting, looking at changes to the site, the neighbourhood and so on. It would be great to have a wide shot showing all that space around, and in however many years, potentially see housing and other development in the area...

A bit more built up these days. Unfortunately I think I only have a night shot of the station, and not surrounds. I'm sure you could see in Google StreetView though.

a pic of hope valleys HP 2 weeks ago at 3rd alarm scrub with both white led lights on the front operating

Nice work Chrissss i always thort you were rite.

What, white LED's on the front of Hope Valley. Who would have guessed.

hahahahahahaha funny that i think chrisssss may have made piont and proved a FACT!!!!!

haha, i didnt actually bring it up originally, i wasnt sure myself but soemone said that it was the case so i thought id prove the point for the masses!

also saw it again later that night at medina as a control point but didnt get a pic in all its glory

Fantastic shot! I noticed the headlights aren't flashing. Is that because it was parked or because they don't flash on that truck at all because of the white LED's? ...i.e. the LED's replaced the Headlights for flashing white.
