Eudunda railway station
Eudunda railway station. After the introduction of the railway Eudunda was a booming town. The pasing rail and road trade supplemented the farmers who were using the town as a regional hub. The railway split the town into halves streching from north to south. The rail lines stretched from Eudunda to Morgan and Kapunda to Eudunda and Eudunda to Robertstown. A researcher has provided the following information: "The Eudunda Railway Station was constructed in 1878. The railway line, which ran from Gawler to Morgan (North-West Bend), was opened in September 1878 by Governor Jervois, with other leading parliamentarians and notable South Australian figures on the train that day also. The view in this photograph is actually of the rear of the station; the photo was taken looking in a NNE direction. On the left side, the Railway Goods Shed is visible. In the far distance is the former Uniting Church, which was constructed in the mid-1880s."
