Taralga branch did close around the same time so it fits. To be different I will say Kunama but I am fairly sure it has no buildings remaining.

Strathaird, on the Taralga branch?

Indeed it is, Chris.
There is actually another pic of the station on Rolfe Bozier's site.
I first came across the old station back in 1994, while on holiday with my parents. We were driving along a dirt road between Roslyn and Taralga when I see this station in a paddock.
That photo was taken on the 23 of last month. So its still sitting there, even though the rails were lifted 47 years ago!!
Over to you, Chris.

That train looks very familiar!!
My guess (very educated one at that!) will be somewhere between Brewarrina and Byrock - actually there's not much between those two so I'll say
Byrock

I will go for Carrathool just to spread the guesses about, anyway it looks more like a wayside station than a junction.

Well it's still there! If only in spirit.
I don't want to get into Skindog the Hawk-type geographic trouble by suggesting which is closest of the guesses. Clue: it is in Sydney and no guess is particularly close.
