Queensland Rail Photo Competition Winner!
Keep clear of the tracks ~ Philli Overton Last week I was thrilled to receive the news that I had won the 2024 Queensland Rail Community Photo Competition for my entry "Keep clear of the tracks." Queensland Rail had run the 2024 photography competition in conjunction with the planned upgrades for Bundamba, Burpengary, Lindum, Morningside, Banyo and Buranda railway stations, and my winning entry taken of Banyo Station will now be enlarged onto landscape panels and incorporated as part of the new station design, serving as artwork to be enjoyed by the public for the years to come. The competition called for a black and white image that captured the suburb or station surrounds just prior to the new station build, and I thought that capturing the level crossing (from the safety of the gated pedestrian crossing between trains of course), was a worthy image of a scene that is slowly disappearing from Brisbane's urban railway landscape. Congratulations to the other winners; Me
