About Carnarvon Railway Station Museum
The Carnarvon Railway Station Museum is a heritage museum housed in the former Carnarvon railway station on Robinson Street in Carnarvon, Western Australia, within the Carnarvon Heritage Precinct. It preserves the history of the Carnarvon tramway and One Mile Jetty railway that operated from 1900 to 1965. Notable for its restored station building, rolling stock, photographs and local history displays, it documents the region's pastoral, transport and town development heritage.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a small heritage precinct centred on the restored timber railway station building, with indoor exhibition rooms displaying photographs, documents, railway memorabilia, and local history collections relating to the tramway, jetty, pastoral industry and town life. Outside, historic rolling stock, wagons and track sections are displayed on the former rail alignment. The setting is flat and open near the town centre, with interpretive signage and shaded outdoor areas to explore at a relaxed pace.
