If you really want to be a stirrer then the following may get some response.
Firstly look closely around the station for any signs that indicate that it is 
still an AN station, most closed ex SAR stations now usually have a sign on 
them to this effect.
Send your photos , scanned images will do and a note expressing total disgust 
at the condition of the station to both The First Assistant Secretary , Land 
Transport Division, Federal Dept of Transport, you can get their email address 
from www.dot.gov.au .(His name is Bruce Gemmel)
Also to the SA Minister of Transport and the Shadow SA Minister of 
Transport, making sure that all three know that the pictures have been sent to 
the other two.
Indicate also that you will be sending the same pictures to the media , 
although I doubt that you will have to do this.
In the case of the DOT and the SA Transport Minister office ,they are obliged 
to respond in some way .
Their responses will be amusing to say the least.
Usually what happens in these circumstances is that everyone runs for cover,ie 
tries to pass the blame onto someone else,the Feds will blame the State and 
vice versa.

Best of luk.
