MOOROOLBARK RAILWAY STATION ARCHAEOLOGICAL PRECINCT

No archaeological features are visible on the surface. The level of impact caused by Car Park construction is unknown. Any features/deposits which do remain will be buried beneath the sealed car park surface. The house was an important element of the Mooroolbark station complex, especially in its earlier years when accommodation was necessary for the people staffing the isolated town’s vital railway connection. Any archaeological remains associated with the house, especially those related to its 19th and early 20th century use and occupation (early outbuildings and cess pits) have potential to provide valuable information on the development of transportation in the region and the nature of early domestic settlements in Mooroolbark. If any structural features or buried deposits/artefacts remain they will have significant archaeological potential for investigating late 19th/early 20th century domestic and transportation features in the Yarra Ranges east of Melbourne.
