Port River (#8 in series: still losing “skin”, after many years in a “graveyard”)

 

 

As Neil Young once put it, rust never sleeps.

(the title of his still-celebrated 1979 LP was borrowed from an ad for a “rustproofing” product)

The featured image may tell you what kind of “graveyard” is a striking feature of Adelaide’s Port River.

If it does not, this series’ next chapter will make it readily apparent.

The “body” to which the relevant “skin” belongs has sat here, abandoned, for somewhere between 79  and 114 years.
