Yumali railway station was located in the town of Yumali, about 160 kilometres from Adelaide station.
History
[edit]Yumali station was located between Coomandook and Ki Ki on the Adelaide-Wolseley line, and the line through Yumali was opened in 1886 as part of the extension from Nairne to Bordertown.[1] The line opened in stages: on 14 March 1883 from Adelaide to Aldgate, on 28 November 1883 to Nairne, on 1 May 1886 to Bordertown and on 19 January 1887 to Serviceton.[2] There was originally no station at what eventually became Yumali, but it was a stopping place known as the 100-Mile camp. When a station opened at this location on 4 February 1914, it was known as Wahpunyah siding.[3] It was later changed to Yumali, and a town was established at this location. The station closed on 31 December 1990 upon cessation of all AN intrastate services in South Australia. It has since been demolished.
