Port Elliot Railway Station
The Port Elliot Railway Station, including the railway station and a renovated railway shed, is the site of the Port Elliot National Trust Historic Railway and Seaport Centre.
The railway station is an exposed timber frame building with a steeply pitched, corrugated-iron roof. Wrought iron has been used in the brackets on the veranda and in the semi-circular arches at the waiting room entrance.
The railway station features an award winning Historical Interpretative Display of Sea Port 1852 -- 1864 and Railway 1854--Family Research facilities for South Australian and Local families. Family and Local Histories for sale. Matthew Flinders Journals available for inspection. Excellent selection of Souvenirs for sale.
Constructed in 1853, the original tramway extended directly onto the jetty at Horseshoe Bay. In 1865 a new stone passenger station was constructed. The final 1911 development appears to have incorporated the original passenger station building in the construction.
