There will be no more films processed by Kodak Australia NSW. I was the last night shift teamleader, there will never be another one. Digital photography has taken my job. So this is me logging out of my computer for the last time and closing the office door. Must remember to turn the lights out ! goodbye Antoinette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day it was decommissioned I shut the power down for the last time and sent it into darkness, then went home. She had been around for 35 years as well.

March this year Kodak gave it back to the original owner. They are now known as "Extra film" which is based in New Zealand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
