One of the stops along the tracks that would have been the lifeline of the community's in days gone by. Rail operations on northern Yorke Peninsula commenced around 1861 with an enterprising Mr Gouge opening a horse drawn tramway carrying copper ore over predominantly the same route between the mines near Kadina and the smelters at the port of Wallaroo. The system was purchased by the South Australian Railways who extended the line from the mines to Kadina and on to Adelaide via Paskeville and Port Wakefield. In 1975, Australian National took over, eventually closing the line in 1990.
