That coupler, if that’s what it is, is heavy metal in the strictest sense. But while I might find a certain aesthetic appeal in these industrial wonders, it begs the question: Do I really know what it’s for?

It’s hard to imagine how this building fit into the landscape when it was constructed, but it’s obviously a product of its time. Unsurpassed style: Substation 75, Woolloongabba.

One or two hundred kilometres from Gympie, aerial photography behind me, I reached my final stop for the day – the radar station remains that I’ve visited once before on a very dark night. This time, I got the okay from the owners first!

On the highway, back out of Gympie, I passed the airport again where I’d stopped before dawn, and just at that moment, a glider came in low over the fields, and descended onto the runway. Intrigued, I turned around, drove back to the airport, and drove down a side road to the back of the runway, where several gliders lay arrayed, and their pilots milled around a caravan control tower/lunchroom. As I watched, a beat-up old car with cracked windscreen and no boot came roaring down the side of the runway, and unloaded a large cable. Further intrigued, I went in to say hello, stopping to grab the camera and fisheye lens on the way.

My mining building knowledge isn’t quite what it might be, so I’m at a bit of a loss as to what this actually is. Part of a set of ruins adjacent to active mining, this building, with its nice brick arched section, is slowly crumbling.

So, 1am, out the door, and off I set for the Rainbow Beach sunrise. Sunrise wouldn’t be for another four-and-a-half hours, and the drive was looking to be less than three, so I figured I could even stop along the way…
