Welshpool Jetty railway line


The Welshpool Jetty railway was a narrow gauge branch line in Victoria, Australia. It opened on 26 June 1905, and was operated as a horse-drawn tramway, connecting Welshpool station to Port Welshpool. It had a total length of just under and ran to the fishing jetty. The line closed on 1 January 1941.
The jetty was reconstructed prior to World War II to facilitate the berthing of naval vessels, and is the third-longest wooden jetty still standing in Australia. It reverted to commercial uses after the war, but a fire on the pier in June 2003 resulted in WorkSafe Victoria issuing a closure notice.
The jetty has since been re-furbished in 2019/2020 and now open for tourism, along with a plan for Victoria's first underwater observatory.
