    G'day all

    In a one-blink-and-you'll-miss-it outback place, this old servo was sitting idle


    exif- Panny FZ-2500; 1/60s x F6,3; ISO-125; lens at 1x zoom / 30mm FFequiv

    As always, feedback welcome

    A sight that we're seeing more and more in country/outback Australia, businesses closing down never to be reopened. Interesting play on words in the overhead sign.

      Great capture Phil and true what you say about sitting idle and lifeless. Unlike the petrels that are plentiful, these iconic structures are becoming like the dinosaurs - larger than life in their time and ending up extinct.

          Interesting shot Phil. These abandoned buildings make good subjects, but sad for the small towns.

            Agreed- locals now have to drive 50km to refuel
