UPDATE! Earlier this year, Council formerly called for expressions of interest from local community groups to occupy the Deepwater Railway Station.

The Deepwater Railway Historical Society (a subcommittee of the Deepwater Progress Association) has submitted an EOI. The EOI period is now closed. We await a final decision from Council, which should follow the next ordinary meeting of Council on 28th May.

Fingers crossed! 🤞🏼

We are still making progress in getting access to the station. The light at the end of the tunnel gets a little bit closer each week! Now would be a great time to get involved. The Deepwater Railway Historical Society is a subcommittee of the Progress Association - If you're interested in the future of the station, come along to the next Progress meeting on 8th April at the Deepwater hall.

On Saturday, August 9th, the School of Arts Cinema presents the story of the Great Northern Line. This event is a wonderful opportunity to delve into our rail history and learn how we connected with Queensland back in 1886.
Also showing will be "PER ARIAL MAIL”, a thrilling documentary about Australia's first Sanctioned Air Mail between Lismore, Casino, and Tenterfield. And finally, our own saddle back locomotive Tilly, will be introducing you to her friends in a heartwarming short film.
Bookings are essential for catering and can be made by:

From the archive: View of the station building, looking roughly northeast. Shows plantings along the front of the building (since removed). Also, some curious frames across the entrances to the station area - possibly to discourage trucks from parking at the station overnight?

Recently our Historical Society obtained a treasure trove of documents relating to the former "Deepwater Historical Railway Building Management Committee", which operated around 2000-2007. This included minutes of meetings, some newspaper articles, photos, and a lengthy conservation management plan. We'll post a few interesting bits and pieces - especially the photos - when we get a chance to work through everything.
