Statement of Significance
Elabbin is significant because of its association with the shipment of grain and gypsum, and the importance of these industries to the economy of the district.
History
HISTORY
SITE 017
The Elabbin townsite was declared under the Land Act on 27th June 1913 (Government Gazette p.2120).
Brady's used the siding for the shipment of gypsum from Lake Brown, and at one time the mine manager was resident adjacent to the siding.
A siding was built for grain receivals and transport, but the townsite was never developed.
Bulk handling facilities were installed at Elabbin Siding in 1939. The bin was a 1939 type with a capacity of 800 tonnes. The last recorded delivery was in the 1975 season, and the bin was demolished and removed in 1978.
