At Douglas Park railway station, the cool morning air and quiet platform have a way of mitigating the rush of daily life. Old stories seem to linger around the station buildings, as if the walls themselves could confess the memories of generations of travellers. Beyond the tracks, the thick bushland almost devours the sound of the departing trains, leaving the station wrapped once again in silence.
