SAR Stone Station Refreshment Rooms - Terowie

Terowie is located in the midnorth region of South Australia about 225kms north of Adelaide. The township was founded in the early 1870s to service the farming community ahead of the broad gauge (1600mm – 5ft 3in) rail line from Adelaide which arrived in 1880.
In 1881 a narrow gauge (1047mm – 3ft 6in) extension line to Peterborough was opened. The railhead became a major break of gauge location linking the Adelaide broad gauge network to the Peterborough narrow gauge network.
The township thrived during this busy era and grew to approximately 2000 people. During World War II US General Douglas MacArthur made his famous 'I Shall Return' speech on the platform at Terowie. A plaque on the platform commemorates the event. At this time Terowie was a staging camp for army personnel as well as a military prison
During the late 1960s a new standard gauge (1435mm - 4ft 8.5in) line replaced most of the ageing narrow gauge lines at Peterborough. The broad gauge line from Adelaide was extended to Peterborough, making the Terowie-Peterborough line dual gauge and Peterborough a triple gauge location. This led to a decline in the activity of the town which had until then relied on its 'break-of-gauge' role.
The refreshment rooms provided light refreshments and meals in the dining room. Patrons had time to enjoy a good meal while goods where transfered between the gauges. A bell would be rung in the dining rooms 5 minutes before the depature of the next train.
