Eudunda railway station was located at the junction of the Morgan railway line and the Robertstown railway line. Situated in the town of Eudunda, South Australia, it was located 111 kilometres from Adelaide by rail. Eudunda railway station opened on 23 September 1878 as part of the final extension of the Northern Railway from the existing terminus at Kapunda. The extension helped to provide a connection to the Murray River The station facilities included a stone station building on a passenger platform and a goods shed. Infrastructure to provide water to steam locomotives was also provided, including a water column and water tank at the southern end of the station, and a large dam that held nearly 4 million gallons of water.
As part of our Geocaching footprint we are supporting the local Eudunda Community, business & Tourism group and the local Youth Advisory Council to complete some minor maitenance works at the Eudunda Railway station.
We will asssit the local community with weeding, pruning of bushes and overhanging tree branches, gathering timber, bricks and iron sheets for recycling. The local community will provide tools all we need to provide is sturdy strong footwear, gloves and any other protective wear required.
This CITO will support the community to maintain a historical element of their town.
