This photo was taken while my sons and I were on our Great Australian Road Trip, 24 July, 2017.
Latitude: -30.608° Longitude: 121.603°

Blink as you are driving past and you would quite literally miss this ghost town. There is almost nothing left of Kanowna other than a few stones and the occasional piece of wood that has not yet rotted away and completely disintegrated.

My sons and I had a very interesting time as we walked across the field, searching the ground and beneath shrubs, looking for bits and pieces of evidence of the place that used to be. It was exciting and also a little sad when we found the odd remnants of the the town that once was.

That is life; it exits in a form for a time and then changes.

Naming it 6431

I decided to name this photo 6431 to honour the post office and town that used to exist in that place.
