Gulnare railway station

Gulnare railway station was located on the Hamley Bridge-Gladstone railway line and served the town of Gulnare, South Australia.

History

Gulnare railway station opened on 12 May 1894 as part of the extension of what was then known as the Blyth railway line. The station consisted of a goods and passenger accommodation. The station derived its name from Gulnare Plain discovered by John A Horrocks in 1841, and named after his favourite dog. Regular passenger services most likely ceased in December 1986 with the line north of Gulnare being closed on 11 May 1988, followed by the Balaklava to Gulnare section on 29 March 1989. The section of track was removed by late 1989.
