Adelaide to Gawler - A Journey Through South Australian Rail History

Welcome back to Outdoorstype. Let's take a look at the line from Adelaide to Gawler. A railway line to Gawler was first surveyed from Port Adelaide in 1850 but eventually a line was authorised in 1854 from Adelaide to Gawler and completed in 1857. The old dirt tracks to Adelaide and the port were terrible and so at the time, the railway significantly improved communication and the transport of goods and people between the city and the surrounding agricultural areas. Back then, the land around the line was open countryside dotted with small farms. It’s not just South Australia’s first country railway, but one of Australia’s oldest railways, with one of Australia’s oldest surviving station buildings. This line has carried every kind of train on the South Australian Railways, but now only carries 4000 class electric railcars. Let’s have a look at the map and some history, before we hit the road and go exploring.
