Location

Kalamunda railway station (alternatively spelled Kalamunnda) was a major station on the Upper Darling Range railway in Western Australia serving the town of Kalamunda. It was known earlier as Stirk's Landing and was located at a distance 20 miles from Perth. ^[1]

History

When the Upper Darling Range railway opened in July 1891, Kalamunda was the only station on the line with raised platforms. It had two station buildings, a water tower and sidings for passing trains and for storing wagons. In 1926, a new station building was built. ^[2]

The station closed on 22 July 1949, along with the rest of the line. ^{[3] [4]} The station has been redeveloped as the Kalamunda History Village. ^[5]
