Goods Shed rounded A solitary desk sits beneathThe corrugated iron goods shed at Bombala Railway Station, its roof streaked with rust and walls carrying layers of peeling paint, was built in 1921 alongside the station itself. It served as the freight handling point for a terminus that moved wool, cattle, superphosphate, and farm machinery across the southern Monaro tablelands for 65 years.
