Three fuel pumps stand on a concrete island at a closed roadside service station in Dalgety, on the Snowy River in the Monaro, New South Wales. The central pump is painted yellow and carries a hand-lettered 'Closed' sign, with a corrugated iron shed behind. In 1904 the Seat of Government Act named Dalgety as the site for Australia's national capital, before the choice shifted to Yass-Canberra in 1908.

04 FROM THE FIELD NOTES

Three fuel pumps stand on a concrete island at Dalgety's roadside service station. The centre pump, painted yellow, carries a black "CLOSED" sign across its face. Flanking units show rust blooming through white enamel. "STOP ENGINE NO SMOKING" placards hang on both outer pumps. Weeds push through cracks in the concrete. Behind the bowsers, trees have grown tall and thick, swallowing whatever yard once existed. A pale green fibro building sits to the left. Storm cloud presses low and grey overhead.
