Statement of Significance
What is significant?
The site has the potential to contain further historical archaeological features, deposits and/or artefacts associated to the historic station complex. Murchison East Station is of archaeological significance at the local level for its potential to provide information on the character of railway facilities, signalling, safe-working systems and passenger services of a moderately important country railway in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The station site retains the main platform, a waiting shed, fences and planted trees, with two of the former six departmental residences remaining to the north west. The timber station building burnt down some years ago, but a toilet block and modern waiting shed remain. Other visible features include various railway track, signalling and communications infrastructure, fencing and drainage systems.
The Murchison East Railway Station is of local historical significance. As one of the few remaining structures associated with the Murchison East railway complex, it provides evidence of the expansion of the railway into the Goulburn Valley region in the late nineteenth century.
