About Murray's Flat Station
The above photo was taken in 1888 and is the only image I have found of Murray's Flat Station. Unfortunately, whoever took the photo forgot to wind the film, so it has been double exposed with the tank, school, railway siding and children. Source of the photo - Darby Murray's Flats by Edith Medway 2016.
Murray's Flat Station opened in 1888. It was once a busy station used for transporting goods and crops from the local area.
