*Eurelia the town that came and went with the railway.
The town of Eurelia, 16 km north of Orroroo, surveyed by J C Hawker, was proclaimed 12 September 1878.
The Terowie to Quorn narrow gauge railway line was planned to go through Morchard and Coomooroo Corner but with the help of several petitions from Eurelia residents, Michael Manning, John Stott and Patrick McNamara, the line eventually went via Walloway, Eurelia and Carrieton. The first trains were running by 1881.
The railway line between Quorn and Eurelia was officially closed 3 March 1987, followed by the Peterborough to Eurelia section: however, Steamtown tourist trains used the line until 2002.
