Kalamunda railway station was a major station on the Upper Darling Range RailwayinWestern 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]
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.
The station closed on 22 July 1949, along with the rest of the line.[2][3] The station has been redeveloped as the Kalamunda History Village.[4]
