Morphett Vale railway station
Former railway station in South Australia, Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morphett Vale is a closed railway station in Adelaide, South Australia. A station master was appointed in 1915 but it was an unattended crossing station since 1957.[citation needed] Facilities were available for the handling of casks of wine, as this area was mainly covered in vineyards.
