There's movement at the station in Gunning

There's a long-running joke out Gunning way that the standalone wooden waiting room on the northbound platform at the town's railway station leans precipitously on an angle due to a century of howling gales.

Despite being one of the windiest places in NSW, the icy winter southerlies aren't responsible for the shelter's striking slant. Apparently, it's just old and in desperate need of some TLC, just like all most of the station's other circa 1910 buildings.
