Reginald Lawson

a disused railway town in the Australian Outback

Reginald 'Reg' Lawson spent sixty years climbing telegraph poles around Drystone Siding, an old railway town in the Australian Outback. Devoted to preserving skeletal lines and maintaining community connections, Reg's routine includes walking the sidings with the metallic taste of hot hose water. His stubborn loyalty once led him to walk 300 miles for a funeral of a distant acquaintance, epitomizing the deep roots he has laid in this remote landscape.
