The station at Nambucca Heads, NSW, taken from the window of the passing North Coast Mail train, November 6 1984.
Nambucca Heads is 565km North of Sydney on the NSW North Coast railway.  In 1984 the station was served by a few trains each way each day, including the overnight 'North Coast Mail'.
The building seen here is not the main station building, rather it is an auxiliary building that once stood near the down end of the platform.  Note the unusual orange colour scheme used to paint the station nameboard and buildings.
Today, Nambucca Heads station is still served by three XPT trains each way each day to and from Sydney to the South, and Grafton, Casino and Brisbane to the north.  The North Coast Mail was withdrawn in the late 1980s.  The station itself is still in use, but the buildings photographed here have been removed.
