Geocache Description:

Dismantled Railway Cache



        Cross the line



             


A cache on one of our dismantled intrastate rail lines.


Northern lines - Broad gauge lines 1,600 mm (5 ft 3 in)
In 1857 the 42 km Gawler line was built to Gawler station, which was rural at the time, and extended to Roseworthy, Kapunda in 1860 and Morgan in 1878.
The main line left the Kapunda branch at Roseworthy and proceeded to Hamley Bridge, Riverton, Burra in 1870, and Terowie in 1880.

A branch line was built from Gawler Junction, north of Gawler station, to Gawler Central Station, Penrice and Angaston in the Barossa Valley in 1911.

A branch line was built from Riverton to Clare in 1919 and Spalding in 1922. This line was lifted in the early 80s and part of it restored as a bicycle/walking trail.
