Suburban Legends

The Disappearance of Sarah MacDiarmid


Listen Later

11 July 1990. Kananook Train Station, Seaford, Victoria.


At 10:20PM Maria Babacala got off the train and made her way off the platform, crossing the overpass to head out of the station. As the clacking of the train departing for Frankston echoed in the night sky, things again fell silent and she shuffled towards her destination.
