From Peter Neve: In years long past, Casino boasted an island platform, complete with an overhead Booking (Ticket) Office.   With the abolition of the branch line to Murwillumbah, the back platform was modified to be come a platform level road coach interchange and ticket office, allowing the overhead ticket office to be demolished.   
During scanning of some of the earlier colour slides, I came across two showing the back platform.
The first of these was taken on Monday 20th June 1960 and shows 4816 arriving with a connecting passenger service off the branch.   To the left, a sleeping car slumbers in the Dock Platform.
The second was taken two years later, on Saturday 29th September 1962.   4816 had been attached at Grafton to assist 4506 on No. 3 Brisbane Express.   Both the Dock and Back Platform are visible in this photo,   Per-Way trikes and trailer litter the foreground.
Enjoy the memories.
