This station is where William B Chaffey set up his system in 1891 to supply irrigation and drainage. The modern pumps are electric now and have been placed a bit further up the river. You can walk around the old centrifugal pumps and Chaffey’s triple-expansion steam-engine pump.
The station is within Kings Billabong, a pretty nature reserve on the Murray floodplain about 8km southeast of the town centre.
