125 YEAR CELEBRATION

An old postcard of the Iron Bridge over the King River.

In November 1899, Marion Sticht hammered the very last dog spike into the line at Regatta Point Station, marking the opening of the line between Teepookana and Regatta Point Station.

To celebrate the perseverance, tenacity and innovation of those that came before us, we are holding a month-long celebration in the lead up to 1 November 2024.

Browse below to explore the events and experiences we have in store for locals and visitors alike.
