Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gin Gin Railway Station is a heritage-listed railway station at Mulgrave Street, Gin Gin, Bundaberg Region, Queensland. It was built from 1888 to c. 1928. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 28 July 2000.

The township of Gin Gin was gazetted in 1877, consisting of an area of some three thousand acres on the Gin Gin run. Gin Gin was an original station of the first section of the Mount Perry railway line which opened from North Bundaberg to Moolbolaman on 19 July 1881.

The Mount Perry railway line was one of several major railway lines approved by the Queensland Parliament in 1877, to access the gold and copper fields of Queensland from the ports of Maryborough, Townsville and Bundaberg.

The Gin Gin Railway Station and Complex is important as a substantially intact example of a country branchline station and its associated buildings and infrastructure. Its survival as a relatively intact group of railway buildings dating from various periods allows for the interpretation of the importance of the Queensland Railway network in the economic development of rural Queensland.
