History
[edit]Tanunda station opened on 8 September 1911 when the Barossa Valley line to Angaston opened. In 1913, the original wooden shelter was replaced with the current stone building.
Until the 1970s a pedestrian overpass was provided. The goods and passing sidings were removed in the 1990s but the goods platform and shed remain.
From 1996 to 2003, TransAdelaide ran Sunday-only trial services to Nuriootpa. From 1998 to 2003 the Barossa Wine Train serviced the station.
Local radio station 5BBB has occupied the station building since the mid-1990s.[2]
