The last days of Starborough Station. This view, photographed in 1890, from quite close to the War Memorial on the hill, looks out across the former post and rail fences, to the station woolshed, and sheep yards. Purchased by the Government, the property was subdivided by 1899, into 47 farms, four small grazing runs, and the township of Seddon. Instead of looking bare, the new town inherited the former station's useful shelter of mature trees. 2009.067.0046
