Description

edit

Apamurra was a station and siding on the Sedan railway line. The last train left the Apamurra silos in 2005.[2]

Its name is derived from an Aboriginal name for fresh water.[3]

A mural was created on a section of a pipeline in Apamurra. It was the first serious pipeline mural in South Australia.[4]
