Mortlake Station History
The original idea for a railway line serving Mortlake was first tabled in the 1870s. The line had been completed but not used until 1889 when the "Mortlake Despatch" ran a newspaper article questioning why the line was not yet in operation. The line was officially opened on 4 February 1890. Soon after, additional facilities were provided, such as a windmill, 10 ton weighbridge and stockyards.[1]
