- Abstract
The Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society was formed in 1973 as an entirely voluntary organisation consisting of interested members of the public. It is dedicated to the preservation of the narrow gauge railway through the Pichi Richi Pass near Quorn in South Australia and is operated as a working museum. The Society believes that if heritage is to be a resource of any value to the community, it must be displayed in an authentic manner and interpreted as fully as possible. The Pichi Richi Railway is operated in the original environment using as much original equipment as available and requires knowledge of the skills which were used by the original operators.
