Statement of Significance

This is an important example of a portable station building for it is one of only two in tact examples of its type. It also features double roofed and ventilated construction with sunhoods over the windows to combat the prevailing climatic conditions. Other important elements within the station ground are the platform gardens, reminiscent of many an abandoned station garden scattered across the state, the posts, reputed to be part of the old hitching rail and the open shelter for fresh fruit traffic. Thus, Irymple is both representative of portable station buildings practice across the state network and equally importantly, reflects the special needs of its region.
