Gawler Railway Station is a railway station on the Gawler railway line which is located in the South Australian town of Gawler. It is located 39.8 km by railway from the Adelaide Railway Station.
History
The railway station was originally built as the terminus location to the Gawler township in 1872. The station was built on pastoral land owned by the local parliamentary member of the period.
Subsequently, it had a horse-drawn tram servicing Gawler's main street (Murray Street), almost a kilometre away. With the rail extension to the Barossa Valley, the Gawler Central station (as a timber construction) was built.
The current station contains a kiosk and three platforms. The station also possesses stock yards, housing the Adelaide Metro rolling stock.
The Gawler Lions Club has adopted the station for restoration work. It now houses an art gallery, displaying local artists, and is open on weekends. The club also successfully lobbied for a steam engine built by James Martin and Sons, previously located on Thomas Terrace between the Gawler Oval and Gawler Central Stations. The locomotive is also in the process of being restored.
During the upgrade of the Gawler Central line in September 2011-March 2012, the station was given an upgrade. The shelter on the middle platform was dismantled for restoration in preparation for electrification, both platforms upgraded and a new toilet installed.
Media
The station building has appeared in a number of television shows and movies including The Shiralee and McLeod's Daughters.
