This is a rather large brown Colorbond shed, with three green roller doors facing the New England Highway. The shed/building would be as long as it is broad, so almost 15 metres x 15 metres square. There is a single plastic water tank on the northeastern side to collect rain water (even as it was raining when I stopped to take my photos - with the car window down.)
There is hot-mix at the front of the shed, and vehicles then 'turn right' on a track that runs parallel to the highway, to get onto Churchill Drive, so that they can then get out onto the Highway. While there are two concrete silos on this property (by the boundaries shown on SIX Maps NSW) it is unclear what use they would be to the volunteer fire service.
Towards the end of 2018 this local brigade sent a team to the State Championships, and came home with an honourable SECOND placing. (
